ORO VALLEY, Ariz. — Nearly 300 campers were stranded at Catalina State Park because of flooding from recent rainstorms.

Park manager Steve Hass says a bridge for the area would solve the problem and they say they have the funding and they are working closely with ADOT. "it's not the water that stops people— it's the sand. We are in the process of trying to remove all that sand and there's about 5 feet of sand just sitting in the road," said Hass.Brooke Chau is a reporter for KGUN 9.
