Facilities, shelters, etc. must be reserved in advance on a case by case basis. Handheld cameras and tripods allowed. No additional equipment or props allowed. Photographers wanting to schedule a photoshoot featuring more than 5 people, props, or additional equipment must still apply for a permit. Apply for a permit here.
