ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Horse/Hiking Trails Permits: Please note the annual permit covers all horses and riders in one trailer. The daily permits are for each person riding.

Electrified Camping: Any camping that takes place within areas which have electrical services. All units within an electrical camping area must pay the electrical rate whether they are hooked up to electricity or not.

Rough Camping: Camping which takes place in any area other than those which have electrical services. Rough Camping may not take place within 100 yards of a shelter or permanent structure unless prior arrangements have been made with the Park Ranger. Rough Camping is permitted in designated areas only.

Open Shelters: Open Shelters are for first-come first-served day use only. Overnight camping may take place at an Open Shelter only if the shelter is reserved for the day before and the day after the night that it will be in use. For example, to camp at an Open Shelter on Saturday night, it must be reserved for Saturday and Sunday and the appropriate fees paid in addition to the camping fees.

Annual Camping Permits: These are good for a total of ninety days of use per season. Once the ninety days have been used up, if the camper wishes to continue to stay in the park, they will be classified as extended use campers and subject to the following additional restrictions and fees: the camper may be assigned to a permanent site for occupancy and will have to pay $150/month plus daily electricity, if applicable. All fees must be paid each month in advance.

Length of Stay Limits: No person shall establish temporary accommodations at any campsite or combination of camp sites in the same area, as designated by the Supervisor, within any one park for more than fifteen consecutive days. There is no limit* to the total number of days a person may spend within any one park provided that no area is used for more than fifteen consecutive days and that each area must be used for a full fifteen days before occupying another area within the same park. *Season total of 90 days, see notation on Annual Camping.
