An article in May 98's Motorhome Magazine quotes Derrick Crandall of the American Recreation Coalition -

"We believe the Forest Service largely will be out of the developed-site camping business within the next 10 years. Where we do see a difference is in the need to upgrade or consolidate existing campgrounds that are too small to be economically viable if they were operated by the private sector.

"If you have three 40-site campgrounds in a National Forest district, we may well see that those are essentially closed and a new

120-site campground is built to today's standards, using private-sector dollars."
