Campland on the Bay is home to over 1,160 mature trees. Most of these trees were planted in the early 1970s and have been on property for over 50 years! Campland, with the help of longtime camper Jim Francis, recently identified over 36 varieties of trees at the park and created a map of each tree location. With the help of this map, campers can explore the diversity of trees around them!
