The Wisconsin DNR is happy to report that we are making great progress on updating the electrical service to many of our state park campsites to serve you better.
Some of you may be preparing to make reservations for next year’s camping season – including the July 4th weekend. We wanted to update you on our efforts to provide the electrical campsite upgrades that many customers have asked for. The vast majority of our 5000+ campsites statewide are not impacted by this project and are available for your consideration online at our reservation website http://wisconsinstateparks.reserveamerica.com or by phone at 888-947-2757.
Work has been completed at Big Foot Beach, Interstate, Kohler-Andrae and Roche-A-Cri state parks – a full listing of reservable sites is available on our reservation website. Work will be completed at High Cliff State Park in late fall 2012, so all reservation closures for the 2013 have been lifted for this property.
In order to provide a construction window for contractors who will need to install utility upgrades, in-ground wiring and electric pedestals at Devil’s Lake, Peninsula, Wildcat Mountain state parks and the Kettle Moraine State Forest; Northern Unit and Southern Units, some campsites will remain non-reservable for late fall 2012 and early spring 2013. A large number of campsites at these properties are proposed to get electrical pedestal upgrades; sites in this category will re-open for 2013 reservations with arrival dates on or after July 1, 2013. Due to our 11 month reservation window, the first opportunity to make reservations for these sites will begin at 9:00 a.m. on August 1, 2012.
Due to construction uncertainties, a limited number of non-electric campsites sites (121) remain non-reservable in 2013 until further notice – those sites are:

- 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 45, 46, 48, 50, 65, 66
