The Outdoor Recreation Office is not open Saturday afternoon or Sunday during the winter. You can still register & pay with
envelopes, or you can wait until they reopen on Monday AM. There is a
nice little lounge indoors (during business hours) with phone that you
can use for e-mail. There is currently a winter weekend special, good
until next March, of Friday through Sunday nights for $30. Facilities
nice, and as of this moment the place is nearly empty.
