a. Superintendent’s Report
Superintendent Young reported the playground equipment is scheduled to be delivered at the end of this October.
Over the last few years, the campground has removed several abandoned trailers. Young is happy to report that last month, the last abandoned camper was removed from the campground property.
The campground currently has no electric sites available and three non-electric sites are open to the public. There is an internal list of sites going through the bidding process for campsites. Out of nine sites, seven were reclaimed on Little Sister Loop.
The Campground has one active incident at this time. While fishing on the public access dock at the Pavilion area, a camper broke through one of the railings and fell into the lake. The camper cut their finger and had to have stiches. Immediate repairs were made to the dock, and improvements are in the works.
Superintendent Young is planning to do some trail clearing later in October.
The campground shower house will close November 1, 2022.
During the first weekend of the Scenic Drive, the campground had more campers than the second weekend. The campground did receive reservations from some of the guests for the same sites in 2023.
