Michigan state parks to reopen next month

ALPENA, Mich.— As some states are starting to relax social distancing restrictions and reopen their national parks, Michigan will not follow that lead. State parks and recreational areas will remain closed due to the COVID–19 pandemic.

State campground locations will not reopen until June 22nd and forest campgrounds will reopen June 10th. Camping and overnight stay reservations scheduled between May 15th and June 21st have been canceled.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources says, “Once the stay home stay safe order is lifted staff can begin to clean camping sites.”
