Important Camping Information:

  • Reservable sites may be available on a walk-up registration basis during the on-season if they are not reserved. Before occupying a site, check with the park staff or follow the directions on the posted card or signs.
  • A showerhouse is located at the historic site's enclosed shelter, about 1 mile from the campground.
  • Campers planning to carry in firewood must comply with current firewood advisories.
  • Camping is limited to any 15 days within a 30-consecutive-day period at any one park or historic site.
  • We recommend no more than two dogs per campsite. Pets must be supervised and kept on leashes no longer than 10 feet at all times. Portable fences, shock collars and other electronic devices do not meet these requirements. Pet waste bags are available in most locations. Other than service animals, pets are not allowed inside any building that is not part of the Cabins for Canines program, or in public swimming areas or waters reserved for fishing.
