For your information . . .

ATTENTION CAMPERS AND VISITORS: Green Lake campground has been closed due to a delay in installation of a new well pump. Our tentative reopen date is Friday, August 12th, however this date may change, we will keep you posted.

We would like to be clear that this closure is NOT due to water quality. The hand pump for water has been pulled which means guests don't have access to a water source that has been tested, therefore we must close Green Lake until that can be provided again.

We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.
