Most of the campsites will accommodate a 4P Tent or 2 small tents, I have a couple that will take a 6-8P tent. The rate for normal sites is $20/night; the large-tent sites are $30/night. The walk from parking/ facilities to campsites varies from 50 yards to 200 yards. We have a cart to assist in move-in/out, but vehicles are prohibited beyond the parking lot.
