I was told they previously had one but the park needed to purchase a new Point of Sale system before they could sell items again. You cannot pay at the office and they also do not have a gift shop. Arrived before the office closed, parking is $4 but can only be paid in cash in the box or on the website. I was also told the office still closes at 4:30 pm. I called to ask and I was told they had recently changed their hours to sunset but none of the websites had been updated yet. The time on Google showed 5 pm but I know State parks in Georgia often put the time the park offices close on Google but the parks themselves are open till sunset or later.
