Stables Campground
The Stables Campground is located within PSJA on Donegal Bay Road near the Association's Donegal Bay beaches. It was originally a riding stable created by Beaver Island resident Henry Allen as part of a resort. That resort was incorporated into PSJA when it was created and became the association campground. The campground is necessary because the covenant controlling property use prohibits erecting a tent or placing a camper or RV on any lot. Members of the association who own lots but have not yet built on those lots, or members who have family or friends visiting that cannot be accommodated in a house already built, use the Stable Campground. It has provision for both campers (including electrical hookups) and tent camping. Additionally, the campground has simple cooking facilities including a stove and refrigerator. It also has showers and indoor toilet facilities.
The cost of the campground is kept as low as possible. It is not intended to be a profit making venture. Rather, the Association sets camping fees based upon the actual cost to provide the facility. Fees for campsites with electric hookup are $20.00 per night. non-electric camping fees are $15.00 per night.
All campers are expected to adhere to the posted rules of the campground; especially regarding the use of campfires at times when burning is prohibited in St. James Township. The current campground rules are set forth below
