Update for my campers!🤩

-M&M Point Campground is BACK open!! We thank everyone for their patience in the clean up!

Also as friendly reminders, please do not park in the grass or on any beaches! We are experiencing a lot of people parking right behind our no vehicles off road signs.🤪 This can cause ruts and make it very hard for our workers and volunteers to mow when tires have done damage to the grounds.

And to my boaters please remember you cannot pull boats into designated swim beaches! These areas are for swimming only. Some of our buoys are needing pulled back as the water levels have changed so much over these past few weeks, and our game wardens are working to fix these. But these areas are exclusively used for swimming only. Boaters need to stay clear at least 200ft of designated swim beaches. This can be a major safety issue to swimmers, so please be cautious!

We want to keep the park a safe place for all to enjoy! We hope everyone has a great week and come out to enjoy the weather while it’s not 1,000 degrees!😄🌊

Our office is currently experiencing internet and phone outages! Please bare with us as we try to get this fixed as soon as possible! 😅
Please leave me a message if possible and I will return your call!
Thank you!
