  • All campsites have a fire pit and a picnic table.
  • The park has a sewer dump station and potable water for an additional charge of $15.
  • Generator use is not allowed in the campground.
  • Disconnect camper hoses at night to prevent damaging equipment if temps drop to freezing.

Firewood: Firewood must be harvested in Utah. Please don’t bring firewood from out of the area to prevent transporting invasive species and diseases. It is the law. We have firewood here to purchase.
