LIFTED: the no contact advisory for the beach (Lake Ovid) has been lifted.

After a year and a half, the modern campground is just a few days away from opening!!🎉 The campground will open Thursday June 4th at 3pm (we will open earlier if our contractors are done working earlier than 3pm). For the month of June, the campground will be open Thursday to Monday, so the contractors can complete the finishing touches during the week. On July 1st, the campground will fully open. The beach building remains under construction. There are portable toilets at the beach. Pictured one of the new toilet/shower buildings in the campground.

UPDATE: Advisory no longer in effect! There is a no contact advisory at the beach due to an algal bloom. The beach area was tested today when the algae was noticed. We will update when the advisory is lifted. Visit Michigan.gov/HABs for more information.

Attention campers, following DNR Parks and Recreation Policy, campsites must be occupied within 24 hours of your arrival date, and if not checked in by 3 PM the next day, your campsite will be automatically moved to “No-show”, canceling your stay.

Please plan accordingly, and make modifications to your booking if you are not able to arrive on your arrival date.

This policy will be enforced consistently across all State Parks.
