Fees
The nightly camping rate for tent sites is $10 to be paid at the time of arrival.
You can now pay using the new Instant Pay feature by scanning the QR code on the campsite post.
If you pay by card, the nightly rate is $10.40. The extra 40 cents is a 4% convenience fee to help cover our credit card processing fees.
You will still need to fill out an envelope at the registration kiosk and drop it in the payment pedestal, just as you would if paying by cash or check. Please indicate that you have paid online on the envelope.
Be sure to tag your site upon payment with the filled out top portion of your registration envelope.
Customer AND camping unit (camper, trailer, vehicle, erected tent) must physically be at the campsite to scan & utilize the INSTANT PAY QR Code. Day #1 of the booking will be that day, and length of stay will not exceed 14 days. If the site is empty, even though a paid booking is in place - it shall be determined to be vacated or improperly paid for in violation of this Instant Pay Policy. The site registration will be immediately voided and available to the next Instant Pay Customer. There will be no refunds for violations of any portion of this policy.
