To assist with the reopening, Gov. Justice has issued the following guidelines to mitigate the exposure and spread of COVID-19 among workers and campers. These guidelines, in addition to the guidelines established by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), will help campground owners and managers establish proper protocols and procedures to keep all campers and workers safe. These regulations are subject to change according to state regulations and campers will be notified at that time. Failure to follow these guidelines could result in immediate cancellation of your campsite reservation.
