Camping Fees and Seasons

2013 CAMPING FEES

For camping stays of May 1, 2013, or later, campers will see a new nightly rate system in place. Nightly camping rates will vary from campground to campground based on different criteria. Campsites with an electric amenity (electric, electric/water, sewer/electric/water) will be priced differently for those with 30 amp. service than for those with 50 amp. service (premium). Several state parks will offer rates that vary from week night to weekend as well. Clicking here will take you to a full listing of the new rates by facility, broken down by season.

The rates listed below are effective through April 30, 2013.
