Overview

Reservations are required for camping in the five campgrounds, and dispersed camping is prohibited. Reservations must be made through Recreation.gov—this can be done in advance or on-site once a campsite has been selected, if availability allows. Stays are limited to 7 days per month.

Each of the campgrounds has one or more accessible vault toilets, but none have electricity, running water, or trash cans. Please pack out all trash, including dog waste. Firewood gathering is not allowed.

Single campsites are limited to 10 people and two vehicles, while group sites are limited to 20 people and up to 5 vehicles*. Sites vary in vehicle size capacity, so check the details about your selected campsite before making the reservation. Vehicles must be parked in designated areas; parking off-road is not allowed.

*Vehicle is defined as freeway legal transportation used to access the site (i.e. car, truck or motorcycle). A truck hauling a toy-hauler trailer and UTV is one vehicle, per the purposes of the reservation and length-limitations.
