Three of the lake’s camps have canceled their summer programs because of the pandemic. Two others are cautiously optimistic about opening, pending final state guidance.

We’ve been asked a lot of questions. The answers are fairly simple.
The state’s rapidly changing guidance for operating campgrounds during the pandemic has relaxed some restrictions while leaving others in place.
What’s a “member” when it comes to permission to stay at campgrounds this year? Raymond’s town manager Joseph Ilsley says the State Attorney General’s office told him seasonal campers don’t qualify as members, but said the opposite a day later. Lobbying was the reason, he says. The AG’s office says it was a miscommunication.
Bucking a headwind of municipal opposition, the governor on Friday decided campgrounds can operate at half capacity to serve “state residents and members” during the current phase of the pandemic. It appears seasonal campers are included in the ruling.
