Places To Go
 

The park has one visitor center and five designated camping areas (please note that camping outside the designated areas is prohibited).  Most are located in the northern eight miles of the park. 

One campground (South Beach) extends for sixty miles. Most of it and the campground at Yarborough Pass can be reached only via four-wheel-drive vehicle.

Please note that there are no water or electrical or sewage hook-ups in the park.  RVs may use a communal water-filling station and gray water dumpstation located just outside the developed Malaquite campground.

Potable water for filling water bottles may be obtained from two exterior faucets at the Malaquite Visitor Center.
