Group camping
Singletary Lake State Park has two organized group camps available to nonprofit organizations. The camps provide a unique camping experience, creating the perfect setting in which to interpret natural surroundings & to unite in work & play. At least 20 people must be in the group, & the group must also be part of a verifiable organization.
Camp Ipecac, built by the Resettlement Administration, houses 92 persons & is open April through October. The camp was named for Carolina ipecac, a herb common in the region's sandy soil. Extract taken from the herb's dried roots is used for medicinal purposes.
Camp Loblolly Bay houses 48 persons & is open year round. The camp was named for the loblolly, a medium-sized evergreen that produces white blooms in summer.
Both camps are accessible for persons with disabilities & include a mess hall, campers' cabins & restrooms. All amenities are provided for campers except for food, cleaning supplies & bed linens. A basketball goal, volleyball net, horseshoe pit, group-size charcoal grill & picnic tables are located near the cabins. A campfire circle in each camp offers the perfect setting for an evening of fellowship & marshmallow roasting.
Use of the group camps is by reservation only. Reservations are accepted after January one of each year for the spring, summer & fall. Reservations for Camp Loblolly Bay for use during the months of January & February may be made after September one of the previous year.
