I checked the NPS page and it no longer shows an alert closing the campground and raft launch, but I didn't see any statement saying specifically that it was open.

The Goodell Campground and raft launch are currently closed (8/2/24) due to a fire in the campground. Presumably NPS will post here (https://www.nps.gov/noca/planyourvisit/fire-closures.htm) when it re-opens.
