TRAVERSE CITY - Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start to the camping season. Campers will be geared up, tents will be pitched and campgrounds will be full.
State Parks closed for construction will make an impact too.
That’s especially true for the State Campground in Traverse City. They expect to be 80% full by Sunday night, May 26.
While camping is a great activity to do with loved ones, it’s important to be mindful of your neighbors.
“Don’t leave your pets unattended and your pets have to be on a six foot leash. Quiet hours start at 10 p.m. so just be courteous of your neighbors,” said Traverse City State Park Supervisor Stephanie Rosinski.
It’s also important to use caution when dealing with fires as 9 out of 10 of wildfires are started by humans.
