Group Camping
Suffolk County Parks offer group camping areas that are geared to keeping everyone in your "camping family" happy! Our group camping areas are for groups containing at least 7 camping units, and are located within the campgrounds at Blydenburgh, Cathedral Pines, Indian Island, Sears Bellows, Cedar Point and Southaven County Parks. These group areas range from 10 to 20 campsites and can be reserved using the following guidelines:
- Non-Holiday Weekends: Your group/club must plan on reserving the group-area campsites with a minimum 3-night stay
- Holiday Weekends: Your group/club must plan on reserving the group-area campsites with a minimum 4-night stay
We start accepting Group Camping Permit Applications in March for the upcoming camping season each year. To apply for a Group Camping permit, please submit the online Group/Club Camping Permit Application. For more information, please read through the Group/Club Camping Permit Application Instructions & Information sheet.
Group/Club Camping Permit Applications may be submitted using the online form starting on March 1st at Midnight. Early applications will not be accepted.
As a reminder, Group Camping reservations are for the dates stated on the application, no early check in dates are allowed. Check-in time is at 4:00 P.M. and check-out is at 12:00 P.M. Late check-out fees will apply to the individual sites within the Group Area.
Groups are not permitted to stay more than seven (7) nights in a campground (14-night stays are only allowed at Cedar Point, Blydenburgh, and Sears Bellows).
Individuals may camp with different groups, but the Parks Department reserves the right to deny groups or individuals that may be abusing the Period of Stay regulations.
