Novice camper here. Is there any pump stations at the county park, or are we hauling water from home for washing dishes, 1 minute rinse off showers, and other stuff?

The views expressed here are that of myself only and do not necessarily represent that of the WGA board.

There are two pumps in the West Campgrounds and one in the South Campground. There are no showers. Restrooms have pit toilets. Firewood is available at the park … LOTS of firewood.

All opinions, comments, and useless drivel I post are mine alone and do not reflect the opinions of the WGA BOD.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
