:twocents:
Closures of campgrounds, roads, and camping area opportunities tend to force outdoor enthusiasts (hunters, anglers, hikers, campers, etc.) into more concentrated areas which create conditions for far less enjoyable experiences and more adverse/negative perceptions of the government agencies that are closing off the public access and use opportunities. Access points and remaining campgrounds become crowded "parking lot" areas. Alternatives to closures should be pursued. The DNR should keep and improve the current Tunerville Campground location.

Take advantage of this opportunity to have your voices heard.
