Two things have me concerned before I even arrive this year, campfire bands due to drought, and blue-green algae in the lake due to water temps. Campfires and lake swimming are on our traditions list.
I hear there is a sign at the camp entrance about no campfires? Any chance this may be lifted if we get some of the storms predicted?

Also, I understand lake Winnebago can grow blue-green algae if it gets warm, and it is plenty warm this year I bet. The bulk of my lake swimming I have ever done has been up there during convention. (ie I am not a natural water swimming do's and dont's guru.) Does anyone know if there has been any growing in the small swimming beach over at the seaplane base? Also is this something I really need to consider if it is? I will have a 4 and 6 year old along, and if they cannot swim in the lake they might be almost bummed out as me However, I do not want to risk any illness when camping, so if the experienced say stay out, I certainly want to know that...and will listen.
