GROUP SITES are intended for authorized groups: Scout Troops, Youth Groups, etc. These authorized groups will always be given priority on these sites. Individuals can reserve a Group Site but are expected to treat the Group Site as a TENT-ONLY site and follow the same rules as any other individual site with a maximum of 4 adults and a total of 8 people (when including children). **As an Individual reserving** you can not reserve a group site and place a large group on a group site, as you are not an authorized group.
SEASONAL CAMPING: **Maximum is met** There are no more seasonal sites available for 2025.
- Round 1: Previous seasonal campers are invited to return and have the opportunity to reserve their previous campsite until Friday, March 28, 2025. We are allowing a maximum of 30 seasonal sites this year.

Please remember that it is important to respond as soon as possible. Availability is offered in order, but if we don’t have a quick response, we must move to the next person in line to keep the process moving.
