PARK RULES AND REGULATIONS

CAMPING AND PICNICKING

If you will securely bag your trash and set by the roadside between the hours of 8:00am and 4:00pm the park staff will gladly collect and dispose of it for you. Until it is collected you are responsible for insuring that no animals get into the bagged trash.

PARKING VEHICLES

All vehicles parked at a campsite must have at least 2 wheels of the vehicle clearly parked on the gravel-parking pad at the campsite. Vehicles that cannot be parked on the parking pad must be taken to one of the parks numerous extra parking lots. It is the responsibility of the camping party to insure that their guests park their vehicles correctly. By parking vehicles correctly we will be able to continue to insure the “GREEN” park we all have grown to appreciate.

You may bring your own firebox but it must be designed to not allow any embers or ashes to fall onto the ground, and it must be elevated off of the ground. Ground fires are never permitted!
