The Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Forestry and Wildlife provides camping facilities for public recreation. Campers must make reservations online and obtain camping permits before their trip. To address health and safety issues related to COVID-19, new conditions for camping permits have been developed.

Be advised that campgrounds may be closed without much advanced notice due to shifting nature of COVID-19. It is recommended that you check the camping website just prior to your camping trip for the latest updates.
