Attention

The DNR has closed or modified public access to many locations, activities and services to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. In addition, while most public land is currently open for local day use, state park and forest campgrounds are currently closed. As of Friday, May 29, dispersed camping on state forest land is open.

Please check our DNR COVID-19 Response webpage for the latest information, and our COVID-19 FAQ webpage for answers to many of your questions on fishing, hunting, trails, parks, burn permits, camping and more.

State park campgrounds are expected to open June 22 and forest campgrounds on June 10. Learn more about the timeline for opening Michigan's state campgrounds.

Campers, are your deodorizers safe?
Adding chemical-based deodorizers to sewage holding tanks in campers may result in the pollution of soil and groundwater, corrosion of pipes and tanks, and the production of toxic fumes.
Don't Move Firewood
Invasive insects and diseases have killed millions of our trees – often after hitching a ride on firewood. Help protect our parks - use certified heat-treated firewood sold in parks, local stores and roadside stands.

Camper Storage
Temporarily store your camping unit (trailers, motor home, boat on trailer) in participating parks between visits.
Campground, Harbor & Lighthouse Host Programs
Volunteer campground host opportunities are available in state parks, recreation areas and forest campgrounds.

A Recreation Passport is required for entry into most state parks, recreation areas, state forest campgrounds, boating access sites and state trailheads.
