Great American Backyard Campground, June 26
Ditch the devices and tune-in to nature. When you take part in the Great American Backyard Campout, you'll be joining families across the country in connecting with wildlife and one another. This year we are hosting the campout at Howard Marsh. This is one of the only opportunities you will have to stay overnight at this magnificent Metropark. Enjoy all the amenities this park provides like: fishing*, hiking, or kayaking*, as well as a one-of-a-kind sunrise that you will never forget. *Bring your own equipment or rent a kayak from the kayak share locker.
Saturday, June 26, 4 p.m. to Sunday, June 27, 10 a.m.
