Wyoming State Parks says that outside the reservation season all sites remain open and are first-come, first-served. Reservations run May 1 to September 30 on reserve.wyoming.gov, the reservable season. Seasonal Water Closures occur from October through April, and re-opens in May. During the off-season, water will only be available at one hydrant that is located next to the Site Cabin, across from the Red Barn.
