Pets are allowed at campsites (2 per site max) but are not permitted in the Lighthouse Cottage. Open mid-May through mid-October.

Standard sites run about $17 per night plus a $7.25 reservation fee; sites with electric hookup add $7-$9 per night depending on amperage, and out-of-state campers pay an additional $5 per night.
