The Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial beginning of the summer vacation season, and people will be heading to lakes and campsites across Kansas.
At Lake Afton, superintendent Mark Sroufe said most of the campsites with electrical hookups have been booked, with about 30 remaining out of 210. He said there are plenty of primitive campsites available. Sroufe said it should be a great weekend for camping if the rain stays away. The forecast was calling for sunshine Friday and Saturday, with some afternoon showers Sunday and a chance of storms on Monday.
Temperatures will be cooler than normal over the weekend, with highs in the low 70s for Friday and Saturday and 68 for Sunday. Sroufe said that will make the water too cool for swimming.
Sroufe said there will be no mask requirements or other restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
El Dorado Lake was reporting that its utility camp grounds are full for the weekend, and permanent campsites were going quickly.
