Map of Affected Area

Updated: April 8, 2026 

Loop D Group Use Area offers a large, grassy field at its center, complete with a volleyball net. Visitors should bring their own ball and sporting equipment. Parallel RV parking spots surround the grass field, with an additional small loop in the trees near the shelter. Each campsite includes its own firepit and picnic table. A trail connects this group use area to other trails in the park, and a large communal firepit provides seating for many guests. The shelter is a great spot to gather, eat and recreate, with a fireplace inside and large doors that allow picnic tables to be moved inside or outside. It is equipped with power via generator hook-up (bring your own generator). An outhouse is located here.
