Campsites, Park and Vehicle Passes:
● People camping on the group site: We have registered and paid for you, and your car if you have
provided license information and payment. You can come straight to the group campsite.
● People camping on their own site: You will check into the park on your own.
● People not spending the night: You will require a parking permit in order to park your car in the
park. If you are a registered participant your park pass is already paid for and you can come
