Locations in Hiawatha National Forest-East, Michigan
Recreational clean-up and hazard tree work is being conducted by the Forest Service for Soldier Lake Campground. These management actions are necessary for preservation for the dynamic ecosystems. Along Highway M-28, mature Jack Pine were removed to make space for a younger stand, which is a more suitable habitat for Kirtland's Warblers. In the campground, trees were removed to allow sunlight to reach the ground, encouraging natural regeneration of the understory and the healthy growth of remaining trees. Both areas will also have seedlings placed strategically over the next couple of years, so as to enhance habitat and visitor experience. If you have any questions, please contact the Forest Service.
Please view Vista Recreation's statement regarding EV Charging below:
Protecting our environment is and always has been a priority for Vista Recreation, and we are researching the addition of EV charging stations in our campgrounds; however, there are currently no EV charging capabilities at our facilities.
While many of our campgrounds have electrical pedestals to power RVs, these pedestals function differently than EV charging stations. RV electrical pedestals are designed for non-continuous loads, not the constant electricity flow required to charge EV batteries. It is essential to know that plugging your EV into a 30-50 amp electric pedestal designed for RV usage can permanently damage your vehicle, as well as the campground’s electrical system. Even if your vehicle came from the manufacturer with a charging converter, it does not change the way electricity flows through the electrical infrastructure.
Until our campgrounds can be equipped with EV charging stations, we cannot allow charging of such vehicles.
