  • Campgrounds

    All​ campgrounds are now open for the summer season. 

    New this year, you must access the reservation system before you occupy a campsite.  This can be done by calling the reservation line, using the system onli6ne, or by going to the visitor center or campground office.

    • ​You MUST have a reservation before you occupy any campsite 
    • Making a reservation is EASY! Anytime, day or night:
      • ​go online at www.cpwshop.com from your computer or smart phone​, or
      • ​​call 1-800-244-5613
    • You can still make reservations 6 m​​​onths in advance, but there is NO LONGER a 3-day reservation window; sites are available for purchase/reservation 24/7.  
    • ​As always, advance reservations are HIGHLY recommended during the summer months.  We tend to be full, with no vacaancy, by early Friday morning each weekend.
    • THERE IS NO LONGER AN EXTRA RESERVATION FEE!
    • You can still purchase your campsite at the park office with cash or credit and you can buy MORE THAN 2 NIGHTS at a time on site, but after-hours, you call the reservation line and use a credit card.
    • The big difference is that self-service camping permits are no longer available and you will not see permits in the site markers. Less paperwork...more time for camping fun!  ​​

    The swim beach is open for summer fun.

There is no extra fee for the beach, but a park pass is required on every vehicle that enters the park.

    Please note: Pets are not allowed in the swim beach compound. It is not safe to leave pets in a hot car, so plan to leave your pets at home when vis​iting the beach. Glass is also not permitted at the beach. Gas grills are allowed in designated areas only in the beach compound, and charcoal grills are provided next to many of the picnic tables.
