Convenience

Going cashless makes your visit easier, faster, and more convenient. You can quickly pay for your site using simple digital payment options—no need for exact change. It also helps keep your payment secure, so you can spend more time enjoying your stay and less time worrying about transactions.

Cashless Options

Scan & Pay: Each campground will now offer a Scan & Pay option through Recreation.gov. Download the app, create your account, then you are ready to pay for a site upon arrival to the campground. Don't have service at your campground? No worries. Your payment will process when you get back into service.
Camp Host: Every Camp Host has a secure Square payment option that can be used if the first two options are not working.

2026 Transition Year

With every new amenity comes a year of learning and transition. We are encouraging all visitors to use our new cashless payment options, which provide a faster, easier, and more secure way to pay for your site.

We understand that some families camp to unplug, may not carry cards, or simply prefer to use cash. Because of this, cash will still be accepted during this transition period. However, beginning in 2027, our sites will move to fully cashless payments.

We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to try our cashless options as we work toward a more convenient experience for all visitors.

Rates

All reservations through recreation.gov have a $8 non-refundable reservation fee. This fee is retained by the reservation service contractor along with the $10 cancellation fee. All requests for the return of the non-refundable reservation fee and the cancellation fee will be declined by the campground concessionaire as they did not receive these fees. Rates can vary and/or change throughout the season.
