The release noted that the Dexter County Park campground will remain open until November 28. The second and third loops will remain open and available for camping by reservation.

That’s astonishing! I just found out that the Dexter County Park campground will be staying operational until November 28. It’s the perfect chance for late-season camping in Wood County. With the second and third loops still available, there’s plenty of opportunities to enjoy the area’s stunning outdoor recreation options.
