BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — Idaho Power announced Tuesday that all of its campgrounds, parks, boat ramps, and recreation access sites are now open.

The recreation sites had mostly been closed since March due to COVID-19 concerns, but a phased reopening started in May. And now, they are all open.

The company said requests for campsites at the company’s campgrounds in Hells Canyon and at C.J. Strike Reservoir had been pouring in. Many locations have, and are, filling up on the weekends.

Visit Idaho Power recreation page and take note of these details before you go:

• Restroom buildings and showers at campgrounds remain closed; portable toilets are in place and are serviced regularly.
• Fish-cleaning stations and RV dump sites are open.
• The Swan Falls powerhouse museum, which is usually open on Saturdays for self-guided tours, remains closed.
• Pedestrian access across the dam is open.
• Idaho Power asks all visitors to follow social-distancing guidelines, including when they interact with Idaho Power staff.
• Minimizing the potential for exposure to critical power plant employees is an important part of maintaining reliable electrical service.
