Air quality across the state is being affected by wildfire smoke. Before heading outdoors, get information on current conditions and alerts at Michigan.gov/MiAir, and learn about the state’s response to inform and protect the public at Michigan.gov/EGLEWildfireSmoke.
The DNR understands that current air quality conditions are limiting outdoor activities. As a result, if you have a reservation with overnight stays between July 15-19 and need to cancel due to the wildfire smoke and poor air quality, please cancel your reservation online. The DNR is waiving:
Refunds will process automatically. If you cancel your reservation online, there's nothing else you need to do. Because we are manually processing a high volume of refunds, it may take some time for the credit to appear on your account. We appreciate your patience.
* If you’d like to delay your arrival, we can hold your reservation until Sunday, July 19 at 3 p.m. Please note that refunds will not be provided for any missed nights. If you do not arrive by Sunday at 3 p.m., your reservation will be canceled automatically, and all normal cancellation fees will apply.
