Summary

In May 2021, St. James Township announced that campground sites 1–9 would open June 4 on a first-come, first-served basis while construction planning continued for grant-funded bath-house, utility, accessibility, parking, and campsite improvements.

Evidence limits

The township notice establishes the announced operating conditions and project scope. It does not prove that every planned improvement was completed or identify the final construction schedule.

Sources

  1. The township announced that rustic campsites 1–9 would open June 4 at $15 per night without reservations, while the day-use area and repaired vault toilet remained available. It also described planned grant-funded work including a bath house, well, septic, electricity, ADA sites, parking, sidewalks, and additional electrified campsites; the notice does not establish completion of those improvements.

  2. The township clarified that the campground was open while some sites were closed in anticipation of construction, and that the state had given final approval to begin work. It confirms a grant-program go-ahead but not completion of any listed improvement.
