Bowdish Camping Season 2021

Hello Everyone and welcome to BLCA 2021.

With Covid restrictions slowly winding down the mood of everyone I meet seems to be very upbeat.  Hopefully this will lead to a great Summer.

I first want to start out by saying that this weekend  of April 30th should really be considered more of a cleanup weekend than a camping weekend. There will no services offered other than basic utility services and even those may be inconsistent so I expect all of you to be patient as we work out any kinks in the systems. Please report any utility issues you may have to the office and we will address them as quickly as we can, remembering  things have been off all Winter so patience is a virtue.

Due to expected high winds THERE CAN BE NO FIRES!

There are some changes coming including a new gate security system which may require you to exchange or redeposit for new key fobs. We will let you know as we get more information.

Also I have ordered a dozen new speed bumps to help control speeding in the park in response to campers complaints of excessive speed.  You should expect to see those installed over the course of the Summer.

We have added more dock space to give as many of you as possible boating access to the lake. Please reserve your space as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, due to increase costs we are raising the cost of a pump-out to $20.00.  Due to increases in electric prices we have to raise rates by a penny for seasonals and two cents for weekenders.

As for changes to the park I have decided to address much needed maintenance to the buildings. Many of the camp buildings are old and have excessive wood rot that a simple coat of paint will not fix. So I am going to have carpentry repairs performed one at a time and this will mean they will be out of service while the repairs are performed beginning with the Safari bathroom complex. Please understand and make alternate plans if you use these facilities.

I also would ask that you stay off the grass in the field area.  The grass has taken a beating over the past few years and needs to recover . I will be placing logs to prevent access to these areas until I am satisfied that the grass has recovered.

Thanks for your understanding and have a good weekend.

Remember by RULE you can only stay overnight if your fees are PAID in FULL.  I will be going around and expelling violators who think the RULES do not apply to them.
