DES MOINES - The Iowa Department of Natural Resources state parks bureau is hosting a series of public meetings to discuss a centralized reservation system for campgrounds and cabins in Iowa state parks, recreation areas and forests.
Seven public meetings will be held throughout the state to provide the public an opportunity to learn about the work to develop the reservation system as well as provide an opportunity for public input. The input received will be used to finalize the framework of the system, which is essential in development of a quality reservation system. The DNR is looking at having the system up and running in January 2006 for cabin rentals and sometime in February 2006 for camping.
All meetings are scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. The public meeting dates
and locations are as follows:
| May 31 | Gull Point State Park lodge (Dickinson County) |
| June 2 | Pin Oak Marsh (Lucas County) Lucas County Conservation Board office, 1 mile south of Chariton on Highway 14 |
| June 7 | Backbone State Park lodge (Delaware County) |
| June 8 | Pine Lake State Park lodge (Hardin County) |
| June 9 | Walnut Woods State Park lodge (Polk County) |
| June 14 | Stanton Community Center (Montgomery County), 205 Broad Avenue |
| June 16 | Brighton Community Center (Washington County), City Hall - 101 East Washington Street |
