Great American Campout

The Great American Campout

The National Wildlife Federation’s Great American Campout unites campers across the country, and the Anne Springs Close Greenway will host a local group campout event to celebrate the occasion.

Join us for this national night under the stars at the Bob Reid Field Trial Barn at the Adventure Road Entrance!

What to Expect

Did someone say, “S’mores?” Greenway staff will have guided activities, such as fishing, archery, kayaking, guided mountain bike rides (new in 2023) and themed night hikes (new 2023). Campers will also have access to the fort-building area and the gaga ball pit! We will guide night hikes and dinner will be provided by the Gateway Canteen (all-beef hotdogs with baked beans, potato salad and chips) with s’mores for dessert!

In the morning, join us for Rise and Shine Yoga for adults or nature-themed yoga for kids. Bring your own breakfast, but we’ll make the coffee. Leashed, well-behaved dogs are always welcome, but please clean up after your pup. Always Leave No Trace when enjoying nature.
