The closure will begin just after the Memorial Day weekend on Tuesday, June 1. At that time, the campground will convert to a day-use only area with 900 feet of shoreline available for picnicking and exploring.
With the closure of the boat-in campsites, Steamboat Rock still will have nearly 70 primitive, first-come, first-served campsites in two picturesque inlets — Osborn Bay and Jones Bay campgrounds.
