    Parking and Camping

    Always check the appropriate trial premium for the latest information!!

    After you enter Wheelock Park, you will see a large athletic field to your left with agility rings. You can continue straight and there is a large paved parking lot or you can turn to the left before the field and there is parking behind the field.

    If you are going to the Wheelock Campground, you should continue straight ahead after you made the first turn to enter the park. Campground guests will check in at the campground office.

    If you want to go to the CATS’ RV area, take the left before the field and then look for the sign that says “RVs Register Here.” Campers using the gravel lot (not the campground) must check in with a CATS member.

    Campers have two options:

    1. You may register with Keene Parks and Recreation Department and stay in the Wheelock Campground, a wooded campground with sites for RVS and tents is available inside Wheelock Park. Electrical hookups are available on some sites. There is a dumping station and shower facilities. Dogs are permitted on leash. The campground is open from late May until late September. For reservations call 603-357-9829 – Keene Recreation Center, September 15 – May 21; after May 21, call 603 -357-9832. Do not send reservation fees to CATS or the Trial Secretary.
    2. You may register with CATS and stay in the gravel parking lot behind the agility field.
        3. Please note that there is no overnight camping on the agility field and glass containers are not permitted in the park.
