PARK HUNT DATES:
Nov. 23-25, Jan. 14-16
The entire park including Honey Creek and the Bauer Unit, will be closed from 8pm the night before the first day of the hunt until Noon the day after the last day of the hunt.

When the park reaches maximum capacity, it will close to day-use visitors. Closures are common on holidays and on weekends (from Memorial Day through Labor Day). If you are planning to visit for the day, please arrive early and have a back-up plan in case of a closure. Customers with camping reservations will be able to enter during these closures.

Contact the park or visit our Facebook page, prior to arrival, as trails may be closed due to poor conditions or weather.

If arriving after office hours for Day Use, follow the posted self-pay instructions.

If you have a campsite reservation and know you will arrive after 4:30pm, please call the park before 4:30 pm to obtain instructions and gate code. A reservation list will be posted in the bulletin board at the sliding door. All customers arriving after hours must register at the Park Headquarters by 9am the next morning.

Overnight campers without a reservation must stop at the office and check the bulletin board on the side of the office at the sliding glass door for open sites. Count the number of reservations and open sites in an area to insure all reservations have a site before you can stay. If there are more open sites than reservations, you should have an opportunity to stay. Campers may pay for one night only using the self-pay station and return to the office to register by 9am the next morning.
