PLEASE NOTE:  The Hitchcock Nature Center campground and cabins are open year-round but the water in the campground is turned off and the dumpstation is closed during the winter months.  Primitive restrooms are available for use in the campground.  Please plan your visit accordingly.  We recommend contacting the campground office directly to confirm water availability between October 15th and April 1st.  No refunds will be granted for reservations cancelled due to lack of water.
