New Campground Fees At Voyageurs

New campground fees and a reservation system will be implemented at Voyageurs National Park.

The fees will be phased in over a period of time, with certain interior and main lake campsites, houseboats sites, and rentals of boats on interior lakes, taking effect in 2014.

Spokesperson Tawnya Schoewe says a desire for a reservation system led to their consideration of fees.

Schoewe says the rates will range from 16 to 24 dollars per night, which are lower than the fees at many State campgrounds.
