Parts of the park are burned from the 2018 spring fire, however there’s a lot of new growth now, and wildflowers in the spring and early Fall.

Check out is at noon but please feel free to let us know if you need a little longer to pack up from your stay.
In the winter months 4WD is recommended. The park plows the main roads first and then the side roads. Since our cabin is close to the front of the park and our lot is close to the main road, our street usually gets plowed quickly after the main roads. However, sometimes it can take a day or two to plow depending on the storm. Our driveway does not have any snow removal.
