End of Season Looms for NRD Campgrounds

End of Season Looms for NRD Campgrounds

As the weather cools and leaves begin to fall, the Upper Big Blue Natural Resources District is making plans for the end of the camping season. Camping will be finished for the season at all district recreation areas after October 25. The NRD manages five recreation areas. Tent camping is allowed at all sites and RV camping is available at Pioneer Trails and Bruce L. Anderson Recreation Areas through the end of the season. Day use of all recreation areas, including fishing and hiking, continues year-round. 

The 2020 camping season got off to a rocky start with a late opening due to the pandemic. However, the campgrounds have seen above average use through the summer, especially over weekends, and are projected to end the season at normal levels of use despite the campgrounds being open several weeks less this year.
