Group camps / day-use shelters

Nearly 55 group camps in 52 state parks that normally open in March will reopen March 22. The remaining group camps will open at the time they normally open for the season. Additionally, 88 day-use shelters in 57 state parks will reopen on March 22, or at the normal time they reopen for the season.

Reservations for the 2021 season can be made by noon on Thursday, March 18.
