What changed since our June 2026 guides
June data: groups of 15 or fewer (incl. officiant and photographer) book by phone with the concessionaire; larger groups rent the ramada on Recreation.gov. Today both go through the Recreation.gov wedding venue, with exact prices ($114/$130 time slot, $182 ramada). New: site flood closure.
