quality outdoor camping facilities. Funds from the campground will be 
used for the continued operation and maintenance of Hickey Gap 
Campground.

January 2010.

recreation fee areas are established. Once public involvement is 
complete, this new fee will be reviewed by a Recreation Resource 
Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and implementation.
