4/9/2020 – Two updates from the past 24 hours:

1. Minnesota Governor Walz extended the “Stay at home” order until May 4th. This order not only requests that people stay home as much as possible, it also closes many types of businesses, including ours. We are still answering the phones, responding to emails, and taking reservations – so if you are planning a trip don’t hesitate to reach out! Our online store will also remain open.

2. The USFS has closed all campgrounds on the Superior National Forest until May 1. This includes both free rustic campgrounds (Baker, Kawishiwi, etc) and pay campgrounds (Sawbill, Temperance, Crescent, etc). These campgrounds are in effect closed due to winter conditions until that time anyway, so this doesn’t have much of a real world impact, for now. In the meantime, we have been instructed to develop an operations plan for campground management that is consistent with current CDC sanitation guidelines. We are hopeful that our plan, in addition to our current practice of diligent maintenance will enable us to operate the campgrounds when the time comes.

We’ll keep everyone up to date as we continue to learn more.
