Arrive early on weekends
Gates close around 11:30 AM on busy days due to capacity limits, forcing mid-day closures.

Raccoons regularly raid trash and even zipped bags, so lock coolers and food in your vehicle.
Plan for crowded camping
Sites are tightly spaced with narrow roads; expect noise from neighbors and difficulty maneuvering large RVs.
