Huguenot Memorial Park Campground

For the first time since Hurricane Matthew, the campgrounds at Huguenot Park are re-opening. The Park previously reopened, but after that, the focus turned to restoring the amenities. The Parks Department has focused on rebuilding roads, reconstructing the campsites, refurnishing them with picnic tables and fire rings, and more- although that process was further hampered by Hurricane Irma in 2017. Now, the City confirms 38 of the 72 campgrounds are in operation once again, with the rest slated to be open by the Spring. Two shelters are also now available to rent, with a third remaining under construction, but expected to open in the next couple of weeks. As for the roads, Joseph says they have built a temporary road to get to the beach. They intend to start construction in the fall on a more permanent road, with the hope that it will be available to use next summer. The coastal road suffered substantial damage from Matthew. https://www.wokv.com/news/local/huguenot-park-campgrounds-open-for-first-time-since-hurricane-matthew/grNPRlvVH19g6jXnVATIkL/
