Staff will reassess it within the next two weeks. At Emerald Bay State Park, Eagle Point Campground still has significant snowdrifts and a large melt pond in the road. Originally scheduled to open on June 8, reservations now start on June 16.
At Ed Z'berg Sugar Pine Point State Park, there's currently three to six feet of snow in the campground and many areas are inaccessible for staff, including facilities and water valves. Originally scheduled to open for Memorial Day weekend, the park is now scheduled to open for reservations June 14.
