Harris Beach State Park north of Brookings reopened to the campers with reservations on June 9, albeit with reduced services levels for day-users and campers. “We’re eager to safely welcome back visitors to the park,” said Dani Padilla, park manager. “But given that we’re working with reduced staff and resources, we’ll be counting on folks to recreate responsibly.” Padilla said the park is operating with only about 40 percent of its usual staffing. #placement_573654_0_i{width:100%;max-width:550px;margin:0 auto;}var rnd = window.rnd || Math.floor(Math.random()*10e6);var pid573654 = window.pid573654 || rnd;var plc573654 = window.plc573654 || 0;var abkw = window.abkw || '';var absrc = 'https://ads.empowerlocal.co/adserve/;ID=181918;size=0x0;setID=573654;type=js;sw='+screen.width+';sh='+screen.height+';spr='+window.devicePixelRatio+';kw='+abkw+';pid='+pid573654+';place='+(plc573654++)+';rnd='+rnd+';click=CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER';var _absrc = absrc.split("type=js"); absrc = _absrc[0] + 'type=js;referrer=' + encodeURIComponent(document.location.href) + _absrc[1];document.write('');Day-use visitors should expect reduced restroom hours, less frequent trash pickup, reduced trail and grounds maintenance, and fewer park rangers. Visitors are encouraged to plan their trip ahead of time, and pack out what they pack in. Campers can book a reservation, subject to availability. The campground will be open to RV and tent reservations only. First-come, first-served camping will not be available, and yurts, group camps, and hiker/biker camping all remain closed. Campers should expect reduced services, too: showers are closed, the playground is closed, and only one extra vehicle is allowed per campsite.
