What’s available at Vega
The park’s 109 campsites range from pull-through sites with electric hook-ups to 10 walk-in tent sites in the Pioneer Campground, as well as ADA-accessible sites. All the sites have fire pits, picnic tables and pleasant views. Vega’s five cozy cabins are available year round and accommodate up to six people.
