All campsites have at least a 2-night minimum and some campsites have a 7-night minimum stay.

Campsite fees for numbered sites include the first vehicle. A second vehicle is $18/night. To reduce crowding we do not allow more that two vehicles per site. For larger groups you will need to reserve additional campsites.

The online booking system can filter out sites that are too small for your rig- if it's too small don't book it as we can't gurantee we'll have another longer site available and often times we won't!

Currently the online system only allows one site per reservation but if you've got a group you can check availability online and each group member can make a separate booking. You can also make multiple reservations for the same date range using the same CampLife account.
