The U.S. Forest Service is now inviting public comment on a new plan to improve camping management on Forest Service lands near Leadville, Buena Vista, and Salida.

The proposed dispersed camping management plan aims to:

  • Enhance recreation by expanding vehicle-based (car) camping near forest roads
  • Designate specific sites for camping and parking to reduce environmental impacts
  • Improve resource protection and reduce overcrowding

A preliminary environmental assessment, along with maps, supporting documents, and instructions for submitting feedback, is now available online.
