100-Plus Turn Out For Proposed Campground Meeting

BERLIN– Smoke. Trespassing. Noise. Light pollution.

“It goes on and on,” said Joan Jenkins.

Jenkins and her neighbors shared the issues they fear will come if the former Pine Shore Golf Course on Route 611 is turned into a rental campground during a community meeting Wednesday. More than 100 area residents turned out to learn what they could about the proposed campground.

“All we want to do is make sure the residents are aware,” said Donald Bounds, who lives near the defunct golf course.

Jenkins and Bounds have spent the past two weeks spearheading an effort to oppose the redevelopment of the golf course, which sits on Ayres Creek, into a campground. They’re worried about the environmental impact a campground would have on the fragile area as well as the effect it would have on traffic. Route 611, the road to Assateague, is already home to two campgrounds and is heavily traveled during the summer.
