About

Sleeps up to 6. No pets, no smoking, and no tents or air conditioners permitted inside.
Fees
$40-$60/night (DNR's statewide Rent-A-Camp rate; this park's own reservation page showed up to $60/night).
No season open/close dates are published; call ahead to confirm before planning a winter trip.
