About

The campground has 35 sites suitable for tents and trailers. Amenities include vault toilets, potable water from a hand pump, picnic tables at each site, and bear boxes which are mandatory. There are no electrical hookups, showers, or dump stations. Dogs are permitted but must be leashed in all developed areas. Holiday Campground is currently closed for redesign and available for administrative use only. When operational, the campground is first-come, first-served with no reservations.
