Parks: Must make reservations 7 days in advance!

NEWS RELEASE
The Wood County Parks and Forestry Department would like to remind our customers regarding our new camping reservation policy at our Dexter, North and South Wood County campgrounds.
As a reminder, our camping reservation procedure has changed beginning in 2019. Reservations must be made at least seven (7) days prior to your first night’s stay. Example: Reservation for camping beginning Friday, July 12 must be made by Friday, July 5th. If a reservation is not
made, that does not mean you cannot come and enjoy one of our Wood County Campgrounds! Simply go to the campground, find a site that is not reserved or occupied, and complete the self-registration process at the campground. You must put a camping unit on the site immediately upon self-registering.
If you are using our on-line reservation program, and try to reserve a site for a date that is less than the 7-day
minimum, it will show that there are no sites available. There is a good chance that there are still sites
available, but are only available for self-registration at the campground. Current site availability can be
determined by going out to the campground or by calling or e-mailing the Parks and Forestry office,
715-421-8422, parks@co.wood.wi.us.
In addition, we no longer offer the “buy 4, get the 5th free” special, instead we are running various specials throughout the year.
Thank you. Sandra Green, Office Supervisor and Wood County ATV/Snowmobile Trail Coordinator
