    OK, thanks for the clarification. Makes sense.

    Just a quick clarification. Wheeled campers are not allowed in the group campsites, so if you are thinking of bringing your pop-up or travel trailer, you would need to reserve a spot in the family campground.

    Technically they are allowed by the park, but the WGA decided to not allow them to maximize space for tents. If we parked pop-ups on the group sites, we’d have to decrease the tent camper limit significantly. We also did not know what would be fair to charge for camping fees for wheeled camping units… it did not seem right to allow someone to park their large travel trailer in the group sites for the same cost per night as my 4’x8′ tent.

    Also, generators are generally not allowed in state parks unless written permission is obtained from the park manager. The group campsites do not have electricity and we will not be running any generators. (They also do not have running water or flush toilets, so we will be “roughing it”.)

    I did PM you about this and asked. You never got back to me. It sounded like pop ups were okay. I’ll need a refund and I’ll book a site in the campground.

    And, CacheARRRS is fibbing about the keg. He will be lucky if he remembers to bring his socks.

    Sorry for the confusion, and yes we will give you a refund.

    We were initially just gauging interest in people bringing wheeled camper units, not specifying whether we would allow them or not. When only a few people said they wanted to do this, coupled with the cost of reserving more group campsites to accommodate pop ups (hundreds of extra dollars), the Board decided it wasn’t worth offering this camping option.

    If anyone else signed up for camping in the group sites assuming they could bring a wheeled camper unit / pop up, please let us know so we can adjust your registration and give you a refund if you already paid for the camping fees.

    We are in site 19. Where is everyone else with wheels camping?
