The former Park Office at John Bryan State Park has been renovated and is the site of the new Camp Office. This allows for additional floor space for a greater variety of camping supplies and informative displays, as well as a more adequate check-in station for campers and park guests.  With the change in location of the campground office, a new access road to the campground has been constructed.  This new entrance is located just beyond the new campground office.
