​

There will be firewood for sale at the Permit Office during our operating hours, 9am – 7pm Friday and 9am – 4pm on Saturday/Sunday. SSASO will pre-purchase a supply of wood to use on account of the limited permit office hours.

ATTENTION CAMPERS:  Please leave campsite in same condition you found them in.  The Rustic Group campsite is normally closed at this time of year and if the sites are left in poor condition, we will lose the use of them.

​

All campers agree to comply by park rules. 

​

It is absolutely forbidden to do any type of training while on MacGregor Park premises. Dogs should not even be hooked up. Anyone participating in any kind of training will be asked to leave and likely cost SSASO the opportunity to camp for future events. Any other repercussions are at the discretion of the park wardens.
