Construction Advisory: Construction will be taking place in the main campground near both restroom/shower buildings Oct. 2024 - May 2025 to replace the lift stations at the restrooms. Be prepared for construction-related traffic and increased noise levels. Porta potties are available for toilets. Showers and sinks may be limited or closed at times due to maintenance issues. Water and electricity may be temporarily disrupted when switching over utilities for a few hours at a time.
Due to safety concerns, walk-in entry and hiker drop-off/pick-up is not permitted.
The dump station and showers are closed to anyone not camping at the park.
Miss America is back to host a creative musical event at the park, featuring Y-O-U! Bring your talent (or plain enthusiasm is fine too!), voice or other instruments to this combination karaoke/ jam session!
