Water Shortage -

Due to drought, the park is experiencing a water shortage. The campground water system is spring fed & running very low. Water spigots, showers & flush toilets have been shut off, but the water in Cabin 1 is still available at this time. It is recommended camper tanks are filled before arriving, however we do have limited potable water available at the Visitor Center, if needed. Contact park staff if you questions. Read more.
