Campton is one of the largest preserves in the system. The preserve stretches 1.25 miles from Town Hall Road to La Fox Road. This feature has become significant because of the uses that have evolved. The length has allowed snowmobiling and horseback riding to reach their potential. Then activities can disperse about the preserve for user enjoyment. Some of the most beautiful vistas in the county are found across Campton.

The site is varied with numerous slopes. Farming activities destroyed many of the natural features, however, the potential for reforestation and habitat restoration is great. One of the Districts earliest prairie recreation began on crop land in 1986.

Campton features equestrian and snowmobile trails, a shelter, parking area and restrooms for public use.

Getting Here:

Campton is located on Town Hall Road, approximately 6 miles west of Randall Road. It has several bridle paths that wind througout the park, and a horse trail that joins Campton with LeRoy Oakes Forest Preserve.
