Corp Closing Campsites

I am newbie but live close to greesferry and thank if the corps can not do the upkeep why not let someone lease the area and open it the corps would still make money

I think thats what they did at one of the other lakes.

did it work else were?

What a crock!! How much B. S. is that. just leave it to the gov.

What I read was the corp was closing some of but not all of the campsites in some parts of greers. On my end they closed all of old hwy. 25 including the ramp. I have to launch at the highway. At damsite they closed some but not all including the ramp. But the marina kept their boat launch open.

Anyone have a contact? This is ridiculous

I know on Bull Shoals they (Corps) have let Oakland Boat Dock operate part of Ozark Island campground. They even spent close to one million to fix damage to the road cause by high water.

I wish someone would tell me how closing a launch ramp that's already built and in use will save a dime? banghead

sounds like if we can find out when they are holding there public meetings we need to gather up and go . So if any of you here when and where lets get together and go , i would hate for them to close any ramp . I ran into the head corp guy over the lake and he acted to me as if they were only closing ramps that where next to swimming area ( like the old devils fork ramp where the only thing that divided the two was the orange float . He said that was for liability issues but we need all public ramps to stay open . I thought this was going to effect camping more than anything else , but i have always heard and beleive the squeaky wheel get the grease.

When they built Sweeden Island park on the arkansas river, with 50+ camp spaces and a boat ramp that is dangerous under ideal conditions, they closed a area that had been used for a boat ramp just upstream for at least 50 years, "reeds ferry" for those of you who know the area. It was a much safer ramp to use although it was simply shale, the current didn't hit it nearly as bad as the New ramp. They fenced it off, I assume to ensure that users would buy their user fee ramp at sweeden island. I just reread the link,,the ramp at sweeden island may not be closing, but you'd need a armed guard to protect your vehicle/trailer while fishing. I used to love to camp at Sweeden island, fish the river and hunt squirrels across the road in Gally Flat....we'll see how this goes.
