Park Regulations

Camping is by permit only in designated areas. No camping is allowed in dunes, grasslands, or mudflats. Place all trash in the designated bin near the day use area . Pets are allowed in camping areas but must be contained or kept on a leash that stretches no more than six feet from the owner at all times. Do not disturb or feed gulls, grackles, coyotes, or other wildlife. To avoid attracting unwelcome animals, put food and belongings in your vehicle’s trunk when they are not in use, and properly bag and dispose of all trash.
