Recreation Fee Program Accomplishment Highlights

The Modoc National Forest uses campground fee revenues to improve and enhance recreation opportunities. The majority of the recreation fees collected stay on the forest and go right back into operating, maintaining and improving the recreational opportunities visitors use and value the most—campgrounds, developed day-use sites, boat ramps, trailS and much more.
