Temporary Campgrounds for Local Health Departments

Temporary Campgrounds for Local Health Departments

The Temporary Campground License process is different than the process for a Standard Campground.

The external user creates the license application, and after making their payment to the state, the activity is directly transitioned to the Local Health Department.

Locating Temporary Campground Applications

Option 1: Notifications

  1. When a Temporary Campground Application has been submitted by an external user, a notification will be sent to the members of that Local Health Department.

  2. An icon will appear over your user Icon in the upper right-hand corner of MiEHDWIS.

  3. Select on your username for a dropdown menu.

  4. Select Notifications.

  5. A screen will show all your new notifications.

    1. It is strongly recommended to have your notification emailed to you. You can review your notification methods at Choosing my Notification Method.
