(Dec. 22, 2016) A group of citizens have become concerned with a recent uptick in the amount of campgrounds intended to serve the beach areas, particularly those along Route 611, and have decided to host a meeting on the issue, and have created a Facebook page to foster more discussion.
That meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 28 at 6:30 p.m. at the Ocean Pines Library.
The meeting and page are called “Save Our Ayres Creek” and are primarily concerned with the proposed Ayres Creek Campground just off Route 611. It is an open, public group on Facebook, but requires approval to join.
The meeting is open to the public.
Of concern are possible impacts to natural habitats both from the construction of the campground and increased traffic along the road.
Other campgrounds in the area are considering or are moving through the process to expand as well. Earlier this week, the Fort Whaley campground’s expansion proposal was heard by the county, and Frontier Town has developed plans to add campsites.
