Just checked the campgrounds and they seem to be mostly full. SO we are thinking about just going down for the day on Saturday. I checked the website for the fees and I am having a diffucult time making any sense of the fees. So can someone please explain? I will only have one vehicle to park and 4 quads. Are we going to have to pay for each person to get in or just the vehicle? Or all of the above.?

So reading that if I pay just the 15.00 for parking, I will be able to get in and watch everything?
