Camping

The park's peaceful, family-oriented campgrounds include both basic and electric campsites. Walk-in campsites are available for those seeking more seclusion. Playground equipment is located near Campgrounds 2 and 4. Campers planning to carry in firewood must comply with current firewood advisories. Current nightly camping fees can be found through Fees and Seasons on the right; nightly camping fees effective May 1, 2013, can be found by clicking here. 

On-season (April 15 through Oct. 31) services include reservable sites, modern restrooms, hot showers and a trailer dump station.

Campgrounds 1 and 2 are open year-round.  Campgrounds 3 and 4 are open April 15 through Oct. 31.  Reservations can be made for stays during the on-season (April 15 through Oct. 31). For weekend reservations, there is a required two-night minimum stay of Friday/Saturday.

During the off-season (Nov. 1 through April 14), potable water is available at the frost-free spigot near the showerhouse and firewood is sold upon request.  Campgrounds 3 and 4 are closed during the off-season.
