The governor of Iowa to open the campgrounds. If golf courses are open, why can’t camping?
The Issue
Golf courses are packed, grocery stores are packed, gas stations busy, county parks are packed with people hiking, going on picnics, just enjoying being outside. Why can’t the campgrounds be open??? 90% of the campers are self contained units that have their own bathrooms facilities. Many people go camping to get away from home and many people live full time in their campers. Drive by the campground at Adventureland in Altoona, you will see it’s full of campers and cars. Hospital employees are using campers to isolate from there family and now have no place to go. Adventureland isn’t a seasonal campground either. They empty the campground every November.. Open the campgrounds back up!! You can keep the bathrooms closed! Florida has opened up the beaches, Georgia is opening up many things. Where was the fear and panic of closing everything down in the 2018-2019 flu season? The CDC says 80,000 people in the US died from the flu, and they have a vaccine for the flu!! You are going to allow farmer’s Markets to open up. Those attract many more people than at a campground on a weekend. How are campgrounds any different??
