Perched with clear views of the red cliffs over Boxley, Persimmon Tree A is a small, primitive campsite that fits up to three RVs or tents. Expect a mix of sun and shade, broad night skies for stargazing, and a short interior farm‑road approach from the main entrance that drops and climbs before you reach the site.

THE VIEW

Red cliffs and starry nights

The site looks out over the red cliffs of Boxley and offers clear views of a dark night sky—ideal for watching stars away from town lights.

THE CAMP

Small, flexible setup for RVs or tents

Persimmon Tree A will accommodate up to three RVs or tents, with a mix of shade and sun at the site—suited to families or a few groups traveling together.

THE APPROACH

A short farm road with elevation changes

After reaching the main entrance you travel approximately 1 mile on an interior farm road that goes down and up again; visitors generally find it easier to travel than the county dirt roads, though conditions vary with weather.

What the day feels like

What the stay feels like

Arrival is deliberate: from the main entrance you’ll follow roughly one mile of interior farm road with some elevation changes before the campsite opens onto views of Boxley’s red cliffs. The site’s small capacity keeps the setting quiet; set up an RV or a tent in sun or shade, watch the cliffs as the light shifts and, after dark, take advantage of the clear, dark sky for stargazing. If you plan to ride motorized trails, be prepared for additional park day‑use fees.

Suitability

Who this campsite suits.

1
Families with childrenThe family rate covers two adults and up to three children, making this a practical choice for small family groups looking for a primitive, scenic campsite.
2
Small RV partiesThe site accommodates up to three RVs, so small RV groups traveling together can camp nearby while keeping the site intimate.
3
Couples or solo tent campersWith space for a limited number of tents, the site works well for couples or solo travelers who want a quiet spot and dark skies.
4
Larger groups or event plannersNot ideal for large parties—capacity is limited to three RVs or tents, so groups larger than that should plan around the site’s small size.
