The City of Nelson continues to monitor the COVID-19 outbreak closely and follow the direction and advice set out by the PHO and the Ministry of Health.  

Safety is and will continue to be our number one priority. We have been working hard on implementing a new set of safety standards for all of our guests and staff. We have made changes to our operations in order to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Some changes we have made include:

• Debit & Credit are the only forms of payment we will be taking.
• Contact-free registration at check-in and check-out.
• Guests will sign waivers to follow the Public Health Order guidelines, or, risk removal from the campground if there is a violation.
• Bathrooms will remain open with cleaning and sanitation completed three times a day. 
• Guests are responsible for their garbage disposal in our common dumpster.
