About this campground

This range is for rifle and pistol practice only. The lanes are sheltered from the sun and each one has a shooting bench that accommodates left and right-handed shooters. This range is designed for firing at stationary targets at 25, 50 & 100 yards. Shooters must bring their own paper targets to affix to the wire mesh fence.
