Question

I'm going to be camping. Can I bring my dog?

Answer

The park does allow for dogs but they have to be with their owners at all times. And the reception hall does not allow for dogs unfortunately. There is no extra fee for dogs staying on the campground but there is a $10 a day extra fee for people staying with their dogs in cabins.
