Winter Update 2022:
- All campgrounds are open through the winter and power is on. We have turned off domestic water in the Broken Wheel and Eagle Cove campgrounds. Those restrooms have also been winterized, but vault toilets are available in all campgrounds. For those needing water, frost free spigots are located in the Equestrian Campground so you can fill a jug or RV tank.
- All campsites are first come/first served until March 16, 2023
- The Visitor Center is open 7 days a week through the end of October. We will post new Visitor Center hours next month.
- Sand boards are available to rent at the Visitor Center.
