A free camping reservation is required and must be displayed.
The DuPuis Equestrian Campground has been separated into two campgrounds; equestrian and non-equestrian. Anyone wishing to camp in the equestrian portion of the campground must have a minimum of one horse per Special Use License. All other campers may camp in the non-equestrian camping area. Similar to other District campgrounds, the main gate at the DuPuis Equestrian Campground will be locked at all times and require a Special Use License for day use, equestrian camping, and non-equestrian camping. Up to two dogs (pets) are permitted per Special Use License within the campground, otherwise pet rules remain the same within the rest of the area.
Four gates provide access on the south side of Highway 76: Gate 1, main entrance and vehicle access, fishing, picnicking, boardwalk and family and group campgrounds; Gate 2, hiking and bicycling trail; Gate 3, camping, equestrian access, paddocks and barns; Gate 5, nature center and office.
