County Campgrounds Open The Gates This Friday

From Newaygo County Parks Director Nick Smith:

Due to the latest developments with the Governor's Executive orders; as of this Friday, June 5, 2020, our campgrounds, with the exception of White Cloud, are open for recreational camping. You can make reservations online and over the phone now. Camping cabins and group campsites will remain closed until Friday, June 12. Please make your reservations online if possible as our phone lines are overloaded right now.

-To prevent the spread of coronavirus, we are asking that campers follow the following guidelines:
-Maintain at least 6ft of social distancing while using the public areas of the park
-Masks are recommended in buildings that are open to the public
-Avoid the use of public restrooms or showers if you're able. The less public interaction, the better
-The dump station is open for use, and we recommend seasonals operate as self-contained as they possibly can. You are also welcomed to hire a private company to pump out your trailer if you wish.
-Respect your neighbors and do not enter their campsite area unless invited.
-No one should not be cutting through people’s campsites
-All pets must be on a leash and clean up after immediately
-Please use a credit card whenever possible to limit in-person interaction with our staff in the offices.
-Park offices are closed to the public; please use the service windows for all transactions at this time.

Playgrounds and other park amenities may be closed a little longer so please plan accordingly. Effective Friday, June 5, our normal cancellation policy will go back into full effect.

Happy camping and welcome back!
