Bluff Campground Details
Follow the Bluff Trail from the visitor for about one mile and you'll come to the Bluff Campground. Here you'll find six individual campsites that each host a maximum of eight campers and two tents. Each site also has its own fire ring and picnic table. Plan ahead: there aren't any restroom facilities at the campground, nor running water; water is available 24 hours a day at the visitor center. Before pitching your tent, know that only tent camping is permitted; fires are permitted only in the fire rings; dead wood may be collected for firewood, but no live trees should be cut; and no one may camp within the park for more than 14 consecutive days, and no more than 28 days within a six-month period. Camping fees are $5/night for a regular tent site. Seniors and Access Pass holders receive a 50% discount on camping fees.
