Council approves one-night family campout at Neshotah Beach in August
Summary
The council unanimously approved a parks-and-rec-organized overnight campout at Neshotah Beach for Aug. 30–31, 2025, with check-in, campsite tagging, and volunteer support from local organizations; parks staff will waive normal park hours for the event.
The Two Rivers City Council voted to authorize an overnight, city‑run family campout at Neshotah Beach from the evening of Aug. 30 to the morning of Aug. 31, 2025.
Parks and recreation staff (identified in the meeting as Mike) described a planned single-night event run by the parks department with check‑in beginning at 6 p.m., lights‑out at 11 p.m., and checkout the following morning at 10 a.m. Event organizers said they would tag tents to identify registered campers and mark the campsite area to keep the event contained. Several local nonprofit groups and service clubs were listed as volunteer partners for cleanup, meals and support, including Rotary and the Optimist Club.
Council discussion noted the event fills a community need after the end of a previous Labor Day weekend attraction and emphasized it is intended primarily for local families. The council approved waiving normal park closing hours for that overnight period under the city’s special‑event provisions.
Votes at the meeting: Council president introduced the motion; the motion passed on a voice and roll‑call sequence with no recorded opposing votes during the meeting record.
Ending: Parks staff said they will finalize logistics with volunteers and site markings and proceed with registration and operational planning.
