Need to Know
- This is a tent only site. There is no tent pad so this site will accommodate oversized tents.
- Large and level, site C-5 has a sloped, short parking pad thus making this another tent-only site and can accommodate oversized tents. Please note that this site is located directly across from the maintenance yard and you may hear large machinery most weekday mornings
Campsite faces the maintenance yard, so presence noise from large vehicles driving by campsite is possible.
- Generators and the idling of engines to recharge batteries are prohibited in C-Section whenever B-Section is open for camping. When C-Section is the only section open then generators are allowed with restricted hours.
- Caution: Bears and other wildlife frequent the area.
