Campground Selection, Purpose of Publication and Research Method


The purpose of this publication is to provide factual information about campgrounds in National Forests that will assist campers in making selections for overnight camping. Only organized (developed) campgrounds with ten or more designated sites and accessible with at least the family sedan are included. Group campgrounds and dispersed sites are excluded. Personal observations and recommendations are included about the campgrounds, the National Forests and surrounding areas.
No attempt is made to classify or rate the development level of campgrounds. Rather, based on the campground descriptions provided, it is left up to the reader to make a campground selection that fits their needs and personal comfort zone. To help narrow the search for a campground, a Look-Up Table is provided for each National Forest. It is organized alphabetically by the nearest city/town (to a campground) within state.
With rare exceptions, the authors personally surveyed each campground described in this Guide. Except in a few instances, Forest Service staff at the Supervisor and Ranger District Offices were interviewed. From May 1996 to October 1998, the authors traveled full time in their 23-foot and then 27-foot travel trailer. The authors now make their home-base in Arizona and continue the campground research each year from May through October until completion - projected for the summer of 2008.

Management of National Forests

Under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Forest Service manages the National Forests. Under the direction of a Regional Office, management of each National Forest is accomplished by a Supervisor. Each National Forest is divided into Ranger Districts, managed by District Rangers. Addresses and telephone numbers for the Supervisor and Ranger District Offices are provided in the title page for each forest contained in this Guide.
(Return to Top)

Campground Description and Configuration

Organized campgrounds range from primitive to highly developed. Most of these primitive campgrounds include designated camping sites with at least one vault toilet. Fresh water may or may not be available. Campground development levels above primitive vary. They can include vault toilets and water to flush toilets with hot (or cold) showers to sites with recreational vehicle (RV) hookups. Of course, many of the campgrounds include beautiful lakes with provided swimming beaches, fishing, power boating, canoeing, etc. These amenities also contribute to the development level of the campground.
The camp sites described are classified as tent sites, RV sites or combined sites. The number of camping sites counted do not include designated host sites. Some campgrounds have sites with full or partial RV hookups. When describing water availability, the Guide includes whether the spigots are hand pumps or water pressure devices with or without threads. The latter information is to let RVrs know whether there is a source for temporarily connecting a water hose to fill up the fresh water tank.
NOTE: The authors describe the availability of potable water (drinking water) for each campground. Because of a bad test or system failure, drinking water may suddenly be unavailable. It is suggested you call the Ranger District Office for the status of potable water at your selected campground.

Seasons, Rates (Fees) and Forest Information

Primarily because of budgetary constraints imposed by the Congress and weather, season and rates (fees) can change without notice. And, although not a common occurrence, campgrounds can be closed for renovation or natural disaster. Fees for campgrounds vary from free to $25 per day. Typical fees run from $5 to $12 per day. Normally, there is an additional charge for a second vehicle, which rarely includes a towable or tow vehicle/travel trailer combination. Many of the developed campgrounds are unattended and paying the fee is based on the honor system. Especially if reservations cannot or are not going to be made or it is close to the beginning or end of a season, it is a good idea to call the Ranger District Office to ensure the selected campground is open and confirm the fee. Both the Forest Supervisor and Ranger District Offices have literature available for the public about the Forest (including maps) and the surrounding areas; contact either office for additional information.
(Return to Top)

Reservations

The Forest Service, through a concessionaire, provides a national telephone reservation system (and Web site) for making camping site reservations at many of its campgrounds. If reservations are accepted for a given campground, the telephone number is displayed in the campground description. For the national telephone system, the telephone number is 1-877-444-6777. It is toll free, some credit cards are accepted and there is a charge for making a reservation. If the reservation telephone number displayed for a campground is 1-877-444-6777, reservations can be made on line at www.recreation.gov. A fee is also charged for making an on-line reservation. For a campground taking reservations, normally no more then sixty percent of the sites can be reserved. The remaining sites are first come, first serve.

Wheelchair Friendly Bathroom Facilities

Many of the National Forest campgrounds provide bathrooms or vaults for individuals requiring assistance. The authors surveyed campgrounds with no accessibility to some with state-of-the-art accessibility. In the information provided for each campground, 'Wheelchair Friendly' is displayed with either 'yes' or 'no' indicated. 'Yes' means there is at least one bathroom stall (or vault) with handrails and can be accessed by a wheelchair. 'No' means there are no handrails or, although handrails are provided, in the authors' judgement, barriers exist preventing wheelchair access to the bathrooms. The authors do not attempt to ensure that accessible facilities are in compliance with state or federal law, regulations or guidelines.

Trail Information

Hiking is, of course, abundant throughout most National Forests. However, information about trails in this Guide is provided only if they are associated with a campground researched by the authors. The trail must have a marked trail head, be located within (or a short walking distance from) the campground or be within a recreation area in which a researched campground is located. In most cases, information provided is name, length and type of access - foot, horse, mountain bike, OHV, etc. If a trail is wheelchair friendly, interpretive or a loop, this too is indicated. The length of a trail is the mileage one way or total mileage if a loop. Detailed information about a trail is available from the applicable Ranger District Office.
(Return to Top)

Fishing

Fishing information is provided only if it is readily accessible from the campground or the recreation area in which the campground is located. Although the type of fish are identified in this Guide, fishing regulations should be obtained from the Ranger District Office. Wheelchair friendly fishing piers or docks are also identified.
(Return to Top)

Water Sports

Water sports information is provided only if readily accessible from the campground or within the recreation area in which the campground is located. Although there may be a body of water accessible from the campground, swimming is indicated only if the Forest Service provides a swimming area.

Pets

National Forest campgrounds permit pets, but they are required to be leashed and under control. This is true not only in the campground but also when hiking. An uncontrolled pet on the trail can bring a bear to its owner. Also, unleashed animals are a threat to wildlife and could become infected with a disease. While rabies is always a concern, other diseases could be transmitted to a domestic animal. Be safe and keep pets close and under control at all times. Of course, pet droppings should be picked up and properly discarded. Although not required by the Forest Service, having a valid immunization shot certification from a veterinarian is a good thing to do. Some private campgrounds require certification and Canadian law requires it when visiting there. In the event of illness or injury to the animal or others, quarantine may occur if a shot certification cannot be produced.

America the Beautiful - National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass

As of January 2007, one pass called America the Beautiful - National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass was implemented. It replaced four passes (Golden Eagle, Golden Age, Golden Access and National Parks) which were used to reduce or eliminate entrance fees into federal lands and other fees, such as campground fees. The America the Beautiful pass replaces the above passes and is valid on lands managed by U.S. Department of the Interior Agencies - National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Bureau of Reclamation, and by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service. This interagency pass is made possible by TITLE VIII--FEDERAL LANDS RECREATION ENHANCEMENT ACT, enacted in December 2004. Although access to most federal public lands remains free, this pass, like the replaced passes, applies to locations currently having entrance or standard amenity fees. The replaced passes (or passports) remain valid until expired, lost or stolen.

The passes are as follows:

1. annual interagency pass (formerly Golden Eagle Passport)*;

2. annual or lifetime senior pass for U.S. citizens 62 or older (formerly Golden Age Passport);

3. lifetime access pass for U.S. citizens with permanent disabilities (formerly Golden Access Passport); and

4. annual military pass for active duty personnel and their dependents.

*Annual interagency pass not valid for reducing campground fees.

Some passes are free and others require a fee. They can be obtained at most any national forest or grassland office or on line. Go to the U.S. Forest Service website at www.tinyurl.com/yaw79uep for detailed information about the passes, eligibility and access for purchasing on line.(Return to Top)

Campground Updates

The authors depend on the readers and Forest Service to advise of changes or corrections to information about the campgrounds. Please transmit an email message informing the authors of changes and corrections. Or, between November 1 and April 30, a FAX can be transmitted to the authors on (520) 432-5787. Comments or questions about the information in this Guide are always welcome.
During February of each year, a FAX is transmitted by the authors to each Ranger District Office requesting update information on the fee, season and reservation status. The changes are posted to this Web site by March or April. If by May 1, the 'Update Date' field for each campground on this Web site does not contain the current calendar year date, it should be assumed the Forest Service has not provided updates.

Volunteer Campground Hosts and Hostesses

Volunteer campground hosts and hostesses are located at many of the National Forest campgrounds. Most reside in an RV on one of the sites (usually free of charge) and are always prepared to provide information or lend a hand when needed. The authors found these dedicated volunteers friendly and ready to provide information about the area, the forest and most anything else to ensure a pleasant experience in the forest. Generally, volunteer hosts and hostesses are experienced campers with a wealth of knowledge to share. Often retirees, they are usually unpaid and act as campground hosts because of a love for the forest and enjoy interacting with people. Because host positions may not be filled from one year to the next, the authors chose not to include host information in this Guide. For campers interested in becoming a host, see the section on available host positions.

Disclaimer

This Guide is just that - a reference guide containing data about campgrounds in National Forests. It is intended to help campers select a campground that meets their requirements. The information can change without notice. Natural disasters and weather conditions can result in a sudden campground closure or revised opening and closing dates. Federal budgetary constraints and other factors can cause the fee to increase with little or no notice to the authors and public. On occasion, campgrounds may even close because of financial limitations. Because of all these considerations, it is a good practice to call the Ranger District Office to confirm the fee and status of the campground.
Of special concern is the condition of the access road(s) to the campgrounds. National Forest and county roads can be dirt, gravel or paved. A significant number are dirt or gravel. Some are well maintained and others are full of potholes and washboard-like surfaces. Still others can be steep, curvy, single-lane and downright scary. The authors attempt to describe these conditions. If the Forest Service or other road authority limits vehicle size, this information is also published in the Guide. The authors will sometimes state an access road is not 'RV friendly.' This, of course, is their judgment but is likely a road to avoid if driving an RV. Road conditions can change rapidly because of weather or wear and tear. If the authors' directions to a campground describe an access road as dirt or gravel and more than a half mile long, it is suggested you call the Ranger District Office for conditions and suitability/safety for your vehicle.
The authors describe the availability of potable water (drinking water) for each campground. Because of a bad test or system failure, drinking water may suddenly be unavailable. It is suggested you call the Ranger District Office for the status of potable water at your selected campground.
This Guide represents research performed by the authors. While the authors do have a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, the agency did not approve the publication of this Guide. No funds or financial considerations were provided to the authors by the Forest Service or any other government agency.
