Alerts and Important Information
The Thomson Causeway Recreation Area is anticipated to be going through some major renovations beginning as early as the fall of 2009. These improvements, which are part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 include: the addition of a third shower building located near the River Birch Campground; renovation of the two existing shower facilities; a new multi-lane sewer dump station; and additional improvements.
To prepare for the construction work we are implementing the following policy changes for the 2010 recreation season:
There will be no camping reservations accepted for the 2010 season.
All campsites not affected by construction will be available on a first-come first-serve basis only.
Camping loops or the entire recreation area may close intermittently during the season.
While it is our intention to keep the recreation area open and accessible to the public to the greatest extent possible, the above limitations are needed to ensure the safety and security of our visitors, construction workers, and employees.
