MADISON, WI (WHBL) — When the Wisconsin DNR opened state park campgrounds on Wednesday, it was a popular move for lots of people tired of staying home to avoid spreading COVID-19. It was so popular, in fact, that many parks are expected to limit the numbers allowed in while maintaining safety from the coronavirus.
DNR Secretary Preston Cole will be addressing that subject Friday, explaining that when those capacity limits are reached, people will be held at the park entrance, waiting for someone to leave before they’re allowed to enter. Those wishing to avoid that crunch should plan to visit before 10 AM or after 4 PM.
For those hoping to camp, reservations must be done online or by phone in advance, since park offices won’t be open, and anyone entering a park must have an annual park admission sticker.
