RVs and trailers
No campground here lists RV access. 0 campgrounds have electric hookups. 2 have a dump station. RV lengths are the park service’s maximums; many sites in a campground are shorter, so book a site that fits.
Booking a site
17 of the campgrounds take reservations, usually on Recreation.gov. 36 keep some first-come, first-served sites: arrive early, especially on summer weekends.
What the park says about reservations at Daisy Farm Campground: “Individual tent sites and shelters are first come, first serve. Group tent sites need to be reserved in advance.”
