WATER SERVICE UPDATE
Water service has now been added to all of our electrical sites. Non-serviced sites do not have their own water hook-up, but water stations are available and located throughout the campground. These water stations are available for all campers (seasonal and transient use). We recommend transient campers fill up their trailer tank prior to arriving at the park. Should you choose to use the water station, you must bring a "Y" hookup with you as well as a long enough hose. You must attached the "Y" to the water station and then attach your hose to your "Y". Please do not disconnect other hoses or remove "Ys" already in place.
