Official wording
Dump Station Fee There is a $10 fee to use the dump station. You can pay by scanning the QR code posted at the station. You do not need to be a registered camper to use the dump station. Registered state park camping guests only need to pay once per stay to use the dump station. For more information see the FAQ page – the dump station questions are at the bottom of the General section. Advisories: • Mosquito populations can be high during summer. • The park is under drought conditions and has limited capacity to irrigate. Irrigation is dependent on reservoir levels. When visiting mid-to-late-summer the grass and trees at the park may start to go dormant to protect themselves from the heat. You might see brown grass and leafless trees as a result. Day-use parking permit required (purchase 1-day permit on site)
