Outdoors enthusiasts will soon be able to gather around the campfire together.
Group campgrounds will reopen in 52 state parks on March 22, the Washington state Parks and Recreation Commission announced on Thursday. Occupancy at group camps and day-use shelters will be limited to 15 people total from two different households.
