Come Play at our Parks

There are so many ways to have fun outside at our parks and campgrounds. Here are some of our favorites.

How do you like to play outside?

Breathe in the fresh air and enjoy the adventures! Hike scenic trails, spot wildlife in their natural habitat, paddle across lakes, gaze at star-filled skies and make new memories.

Boating and paddling

There’s nothing like a day on the water. Come spend quality time fishing, cruising or just relaxing and taking in the beautiful scenery.

Don’t just visit—stay a while

Get away for the weekend—come camp at one of our parks. Bring your friends, your snacks, and maybe a flashlight (because yes, it gets really dark). Whether you're hiking, biking or just chilling in a yome, it's all about relaxing and having fun in the fresh air. But don't forget the bug spray!

Camping

Pitch a tent under the stars, cozy up in a cabin or yome, or go off-grid with backpacking adventures at one of our fun campsites.

Thinking ahead

We’re committed to keeping our parks safe, clean, sustainable and welcoming – but we need your help.

  • Make a plan: Check for road closures, construction, fire bans, swimming restrictions or other conditions that may hamper your visit.

  • …and a plan B: Make a backup plan in case of crowds. Try visiting on weekdays or at off-peak times to beat the masses!

  • EV adventuring? While our parks do not have charging stations (yet!), check here for nearby locations that do.

  • Stop campfires from becoming wildfires! Keep campfires small, make sure your tent and anything that can burn is a safe distance from your fire, keep water nearby and never leave a fire unattended.

  • Keep it clear: Park only in designated areas. Do not double-park or block entrances.

  • Leave no trace: Help us protect these natural areas by staying on-trail, packing out your trash, and admiring wildlife from a distance.
