Large campground ONLY - reservations highly recommended!
No small campground within this park. If ya wanna stay away from the crowds in the summer, this would not be the spot. Back country camps are limited to backpacker style camping & fire restrictions may be enforced.Andrew Molera State Park (a few miles north) offers more primitive style camping.
