Overnight Camping
Free with paid admission
We offer no facilities, but if you pay museum admission you are welcome to park your RV in our overflow parking area.
We're set off from the highway, so it's quiet at night. It's a perfect location for exploring other area attractions.
Dogs welcome
Don't forget the leash
Leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome to tour the museum with their owners. Plan to clean up after your pooch.
