It definitely costs money. We did reserve ahead of time, but from talking to other campers you likely can drive in and pay at the gate, but only if there are open sites. This park is not convenient to much other camping, so if it is full it might be challenging to find an alternative campground. Memorial day weekend it was fully booked..
It costs you have to reserve the camp site via Reserve California's website.
