State Parks Reservation after Govt shut down

[pkv]

The MN Dnr HSOforum is up and running, but I couldn't find much information on my particular issue. Hope someone can add better insight. Does anyone know if all reservations were canceled because of the shut down, even those that are happening after the shut down? I made a reservation prior to the shut down for July 30th. Our group decided to call off our plans because we were not sure whether the state would convene by our camp date. Just wondering if we will get a full refund for canceling our reservation now that the shutdown is over. Our reservation was for St. Croix State Park and it looks like the park is closed indefinitely because of fall trees and storm damage, so maybe we will get our money back after all? Anyhow, any insights will help. I'll probably call the DNR next week, but I'm sure phone lines will be jammed.

PKV,

Parks are issuing full refunds if desired through the 27th, after that things return to normal and you lose some of your money if you cancel. But, being you are at St. Croix, you should be able to receive a full refund because the park is closed to camping due to the storm. Give the park a call and they should be able to direct you.
