Group rates in group campgrounds are $1.00 per person, and there is a $5 fee for each extra picnic table for groups. Pay showers, where available are 75 cents.
Camping is available year-round, including campsites with electricity. When modern facilities are closed mid September – mid May (weather depending), a minimum camping fee of $7 (plus $6 for electric hookup, if available will be collected).
