Fees & Reservations

Reservations:

• NO RESERVATIONS ARE NEEDED to visit the dozens of self-guided caves found on Cave Loop and elsewhere in the park. Have fun exploring on your own, but be sure to come prepared.

• We only accept reservations for our group campsite which requires a minimum of 15 people. The rest of the campgrounds is a first come first served campground.

• Fern Cave and Crystal Ice Cave tour reservations can be made by phone by calling 530-667-8113. Access to both caves is seasonal and very limited. Reservations are taken on a "first-come, first-served" basis. More information >>>
