Group Camp 3 aka "the campground" is located inside of Fontainebleau State Park. If someone is driving there, the entrance to the campground is located just over half of a mile east of the main entrance of the park on Hwy 190. If you are coming from the park entrance, you’ll turn right where the power lines cross the highway. The road from the highway to the campground itself is just over half a mile long. If you’ve been to the lodge (log cabin) in previous years, it’s the same intersection on Hwy 190; just turn right (south) instead of left (north).
The campground is about 4 acres and includes access to a pond with a fishing pier. There are 4 main structures on the campground: the kitchen, the two bunkhouses, and a separate bathhouse.
