Individual sites will accommodate up to 8 persons, any more than that and you will need to book another site.

8. What HOOK-UPS are available at the campground?
Seven sites offer 30amp electricity, and the rest are “dry” camping (“primitive”). NO SITES HAVE FULL HOOK-UPS. The sites with electricity vary in size, so you will be asked the length of your camping rig to make sure you’ll fit in the driveway.
