And you throw in the parks that are still closed due to Hurricane Florence. I was over at the Croatan National Forest Office this afternoon inquiring when they'd be re-opening Flanners Beach, Fisher Landing, and Cedar Point CGs. Not too soon is the answer I got.
The explanation I got was that while the campsites are now safe to use but the shorelines are still a mess. Lady in the office said they'd put up Keep Out signs in the past but campers would ignore the signs on head on down to the water with quite a few being injured. Also said it would take heavy equipment, which they don't have an abudance of, to get the beaches and shorelines cleaned up and safe to use.
