All applications must be received by 4:00pm on August 5. Applicants must have a valid Plymouth Long Beach 4x4 sticker prior to applying for a camping permit.
Camping dates will be Wednesday, August 28 through Friday, August 30. Due to the timing of shorebird breeding activity and extreme high tides, camping is limited to 3 nights this season. Each permit will be valid for 1 night.
Camping is contingent on the completion of shorebird breeding activity and the presence of sufficient Natural Resources Staff. Camping will only be permitted in designated areas. Each party is required to have a self-contained toilet for camping. Cookfires are allowed only within permitted hours.
