Forest Service Waives Campground Fees on National Forests for Displaced Flood Victims
Southern Region of the USDA Forest Service Waives Campground Fees on National Forests
ATLANTA -The Southern Region of the USDA Forest Service is immediately waiving fees and making all campgrounds available for individuals displaced by the recent flooding in Texas and other states.
Like several areas along the Gulf Coast, many National Forests were impacted by the recent storm. Some of the region's campgrounds are closed due to the flooding.
Please call ahead or check websites to determine what is open and available. Also, individuals requesting campsites need to check in with campground hosts at each site.
For more information on campgrounds in the Southern Region, please visit the respective forest's website:
