"Campground" Development on Fire
Camping is great. This is not camping. These "campgrounds" are high-density communities. Nothing wrong with them... unless there is no infrastructure for them!
This is a perfect storm of demand due to Covid, loopholes and county ordinances that haven't been updated to address the reality of the situation.
Demand a moratorium so you have time to tell your supervisor what you want.
See Supervisor addresses at the bottom of this page.
"Campground" Growth in the Last 5 Years
Burnett County is home to 26 campgrounds. In 2015, there were 1,100 spots available. Since then, 4 new RV Parks and expansions at existing campgrounds have resulted in over 1,800 spots available – an increase of 60%.

We Are Coming Together
