The Douglas County Parks Department (Oregon) announced the temporary closure of John P. Amacher County Park and Campground.
According to the Douglas County Government’s Facebook page, Amacher County Park and Campground will be closed on Monday and Tuesday, October 10-11, to complete the paving portion of the project that started in August.
Once completed, the project will include the repaving of the parking lot, installation of new curbs, new stormwater catch basins, and striping of parking spots near the boat ramp area.
Douglas County said they aim to complete the project the following week and asked for patience and cooperation as the project progresses.
During the park closure, the county urged parkgoers and campers to visit an alternate facility that would fit their needs.
According to the release, John P. Amacher County Park and Campground is located along the banks of the North Umpqua River about six miles north of Roseburg.
The county park offers day-use recreational opportunities like boating, fishing, swimming, rafting, picnicking, hiking, walking, and a pavilion for events.
The campground has 20 full hook-up and 10 non-hook-up campground site accommodations with showers and restrooms.
