Forest Service Drops Fee Policy
The Forest Service announced it is eliminating user fees for most family campgrounds and boat-launch ramps due to a new law. Only about 30 of 2,221 national forest campgrounds will still charge fees. 99 boat ramps are near elimination. Chief John McGuire stated most sites will be fee free under the statute affecting federal recreation facilities.
