Campground Information
Access
Campsites are available for rental until 9:00 PM each evening. Your validated camp receipt will serve as your pass. Please display it in your windshield so that it may be checked by the office. After sunset, all vehicles will be checked at the main gate. For your protection, no vehicles will be allowed into the campground without a pass. Park areas outside the campground are closed after sunset. Beach and day use areas open at 8:00 AM.

Each camping permit allows for a maximum of two vehicles in the park. Only one four-wheeled vehicle, other than the designated camping equipment, may be parked on a campsite. If a second vehicle is registered to the site, it must be parked in one of the designated areas provided. All-wheels, cars, trailers, etc., must remain on the paved surface of the campsite. All vehicles and equipment should be backed onto the campsite.
