Other Information

Parking Space Sizes

The parking space sizes for each campsite listed below refer to the space available at each site to accommodate camper vehicle(s). Any and all personal cars, trucks, RVs, fifth wheels, and/or trailers—including bumpers and hitches—must fit entirely within the space sizes listed below. There is extra vehicle parking available if personal cars do not fit at your site alongside your RV or trailer.

Due to narrow lanes and tight curves, the roads in this campground can not accomodate a RV longer than 25 feet or a trailer longer than 21 feet. 

If your vehicle(s) cannot fit entirely within this space, you must park personal vehicles in overflow parking, or choose a different site or campground.
 

* "Tent Only" sites cannot accommodate trailers and/or RVs. Access to the designated "camping area" for these sites—including picnic table, fire ring, and tent pad—requires a short walk from a nearby designated parking area, and may include steps and/or stairs to access.
