Tubbs Lake in Mecosta County is now open for early camping.

 

County Park Superintendent Jeff Abel says things are shaping up this offseason in order to get ready for the start of the new camping season.

 

“The biggest thing for us, is just being able to get the water and all the electricity turned back on because we can't do much with that water until the temperatures allow us to do that. We've got regulations that we have to follow through the health department in regards to coronating wells and doing tests, so that's the biggest hurdle.” Abel said. 

“We get staff around the parks and clean up all the trees that have come down during the offseason and the leaf remnants that are left over from the fall and do it as best we can to get everything cleaned up for opening day.”

 

Abel says camping spots are filling up for the July and August months and he suggests getting online and reserving your site today.
