Spring is here and many people are starting to think about camping. If you are headed to Miami County to do some camping, Paola has implemented a new booking system and fee schedule for campers at Lake Miola that city officials say will be more competitive with other areas and help minimize loss of revenue from cancellations. According to the new fee schedule, it will now cost Lake Miola campers $15 a day for a primitive reservation, $20 a day for a campground with electric/water, and $22 a day for a full hook-up. The new fee schedule eliminates the previous separate fees for county residents and non-county residents.
The approved changes also include a new cancellation policy that states that a refund, minus one camping night fee, will be awarded to anyone who cancels 72 hours or more prior to the scheduled arrival date. Cancellations that take place less than 72 hours prior to the scheduled arrival date will result in the forfeiture of all fees. You can make a reservation by visiting the city’s website at “ cityofpaola.com” and clicking on the Lake Miola camping reservations link on the homepage.
