All group centers have dining areas, kitchens and bathrooms, and some have staff quarters, craft buildings and other facilities. The group center at Whitewater State Park is open year-round; all others are seasonal. The seasonal group centers at Itasca and Myre-Big Island state parks are semi-modern and offer fewer sleeping quarters. All other locations are modern.Contact the park directly to reserve. Group centers are not in the state park reservations system.
