Campgrounds
Part 125 of Michigan's Public Health Code, 1978 PA 368, as amended, and its administrative rules, establish the requirements for constructing, modifying, licensing, and operating a campground. A license from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is required to operate a campground offering five or more campsites/recreational units in the state of Michigan.
Submit to EGLE electronically
The EGLE campgrounds program uses the Michigan Environmental Health and Drinking Water Information System (MiEHDWIS) to directly upload applications, engineered construction plans, and other supporting information from campground owners or inspection reports from local health department staff.
