analysis of nearby developed recreation sites with similar amenities

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act
(Title VII, Pub. L. 108-447) directed the Secretary of Agriculture to
publish a six-month advance notice in the Federal Register whenever new
recreation fee areas are established. The fees are only proposed at
this time and will be determined upon further analysis and public
comment. Reasonable fees, paid by users of these sites, will help
ensure that the Forest can continue maintaining and improving
recreation sites like this for future generations.
As part of this proposal, the Canyon Creek, Cottonwood, Crystal
Creek, Mill Creek, North Van Houten, Pintler, Potosi, Seymour Creek,
South Van Houten, and Steel Creek campgrounds are proposed at $12 per
night, with an additional $5 extra vehicle fee per night. Bear Creek,
Branham Lakes, Copper Creek, East Creek, East Fork, Flint Creek, Grand
Vista, Racetrack, Spillway, Stony, and Whitehouse campgrounds are
proposed at $15 per night, with an additional $5 extra vehicle fee per
night. A $15 for single site, a $30 for double site, and a $5 extra
vehicle fee per night is proposed at Dinner Station Campground. A $50
per night fee is proposed for Copper Creek Group Campsite. In addition,
this proposal would implement new fees at six recreation rentals:
Landon, Mill Creek Rider, and Whitetail Cabins proposed at $45 per
night; Divide Cabin proposed at $55 per night; Wall Creek Ranger Cabin
proposed at $65 per night; and Springhill Cabin proposed at $75 per
night. A $5 day-use fee per vehicle is proposed at Cliff Point, Delmoe
Lake, Grassy Point, Philipsburg Bay, Piney, Red Bridge, and Wade Lake.
The full suite of Interagency passes would be honored.
New fees would provide increased visitor opportunities, as well as
increased staffing to address operations and maintenance needs and
enhance customer service. Once public involvement is complete, these
new fees will be reviewed by a Recreation Resource Advisory Committee
prior to a final decision and implementation.
Advanced reservations for campgrounds and cabins will be available
through <a href="http://www.recreation.gov">www.recreation.gov</a> or by calling 1-877-444-6777. The
reservation service charges an $8.00 fee for reservations.
