Hurry up, city slickers! The Wright County Parks & Recreation Department is gearing up for the great outdoors rush. If you've got a hankering for some nature time, sharpen those clicking skills because come 8 a.m.. Monday, March 4, it's game on for securing a campsite at Schroeder, Bertram, or Collinwood Campgrounds.
In a move that all but ensures a virtual stampede, history tells us that in years past up to about 90 percent of the spots are snatched within the first hour of reservations opening. This year, there’s a twist, campers: a shiny new reservation software is stepping into the sunlight. That means whether you're a seasoned reserve-a-holic or a fresh-faced pup to the system, everyone must bow to the new tech overlord and create a brand new account.
Pro-tip for the eager beavers: you can't touch anything reservation-related until the clock strikes 8 on the dot come Monday morning. But hey, you can still play the preparation game. Ready your virtual tent pegs by visiting the county's website right now to find that vital intel before the gates swing open.
As for those early bird specials, there's a link floating around on the Wright County page, and if you're clever, you'll have that baby bookmarked faster than you can say ‘s’mores’. Just remember, while preparation might be key, patience will be your true camping companion, the new system is bound to throw a curveball or two at you, fresh account creators.
So set your alarm, ready your clicking finger, and may the odds be ever in your favor for a starry night under the Wright County sky. It’s anyone's game, but one thing’s for sure, nobody wants to be left out in the cold when it comes to snagging the best campsite for their summer getaway.
