Another thing that we've been getting ready for is the extra paperwork needed for the large influx of people in the park: we have special windshield passes for folks to use and they must be ready and all the staff informed as to their use( they are only for the campers who are staying till Monday or Tuesday).
We have coloring books for the children to teach them about safety with boats. They are to be passed out at the entrance gate.
We have state park maps for the entire state which will be passed out to people from out of state. They are special folding style made to carry in a pocket or purse and have every kind of information needed throughout the state parks.

We have whistles for boaters, and boating reference tables for boaters. We are trying to get folks trained to bring the safety equipment that is required so that they don't get ticketed by the boating ranger, or drown(which is worse of course).
We're starting to get filled up here, too, at Storrie Lake. Things don't get as crazy here as they do at Bluewater. Good luck, I hope it's not too bad over the weekend. :)
