The Friends operate Salt Springs because the State cannot provide park services. This means that there is no one available on a regular basis to collect your camping fees if you do not make a reservation. To raise money to operate the park, the Friends depend on the HONOR system to collect your fees. Please support the park and the Friends by paying your camping fee in the following way: Upon arriving at the park, go to the Wheaton House to get a Campsite Rental Envelope. If the Office is closed, get the Envelope and a Camping Information brochure from the literature rack outside, to the left of the Office door.

Then, go to the camping area and choose your camp site. Fill out the Campsite Rental Envelope, enclose the appropriate rental fee (from the Camping Information brochure), and insert the envelope into the green and yellow strongbox on the lane by the Pavilion.

Rustic Camping Cottages

	There are three rustic camping cottages. The cottages have electricity and bunk beds with mattresses. (Note that they are unheated, and space heaters are not allowed because they will blow the circuit.) Each cottage also has a front porch, picnic table, and fire ring. Restroom facilities are nearby, and drinking water is available from the Wheaton House outdoor spigot. Cottage 1 has five single and one double bunk beds. It is the most secluded of the three. Cottages 2 and 3 have three single and one double bunk beds. Firewood is available -- $5.00 for a 1’ x 2’ x 16" stack. It is located in a locked wood shed in the camping area. It is available for purchase from staff when the Wheaton House is open, April-September: Sat, 9:30 am to 4 pm; Sun, 12:30 pm to 4 pm; OR by chance. The Campground location is indicated on the Trail Map.
