Indiana Campgrounds Prepare to Reopen

Your donations at banks in clay county.

Stage 3 of the indiana's reopening will begin tomorrow.... two days earlier than previously planned.

That's good news for campgrounds in the hoosier state..

They will be fully reopening.

News 10's dominic miranda caught up with the vigo county parks superintendent.

He joins us now with more on the precautions their taking to ensure the safety of campers.

Pk} dominic miranda dominic.miranda@wthitv.com i spoke with adam grossman.

He's the superintendent of parks here in vigo county.

He told me they are beyond excited to get back open and see people in their parks.

But safety still takes precedence over everything.

Here's some of the precautions vigo county is taking.

V} one thing grossman emphasized is little or no contact between campers and employees.

They have revamped their gateways into the parks with no-contact transactions.

Say campers come to fowler park... the transaction will be through the window only with no admittance to the gatehouse whatsoever.

Grossman told me they're also trying a no contact drop box at prairie creek park.

Campers will come into the park, select their campsite, make the payment in an envelope, then put it in the security box.

They will then get a tag to put on their windshield to signify their payment.

While they are very excited to open back up, grossman has some advice for anyone coming out.

So} adam grossman superintendent, vigo county parks "still continue social distancing.

All of this are still requirements of the state.

You can come with your family and camp but keep that social distance while you're visiting the campgrounds or while you go to the beach and different things like that."

Do} grossman said they will be sanitizing all equipment before and after use as well as restrooms at least 3 times a day.

It's all in an effort to re-open safely for the people of the wabash valley.
