State Parks To Begin Reopening Campsites On Monday

Those who are sick of constantly being indoors are in luck after Missouri State Parks announced it will begin a "phased" reopening of campsites Monday.

"We thought that it was the right time, looking at what other states are doing around us," said Mike Sutherland, director of Missouri State Parks.

The reopening comes with these guidelines for campers:

  • Reservations will be required prior to arrival.
  • Campground occupancy will be limited at some parks and sites.
  • Campers will use a new contactless, self-check-in feature.
  • There will be occupancy restrictions in shower houses and restrooms. Missouri State Parks will increase the frequency of cleaning shower houses and restrooms
  • Missouri State Parks will only accept credit and debit cards as payment.
