The campgrounds have not been trimmed, the grasses are way too high around the firepits, the trees are not trimmed and are encroaching on the roadways and camping pads. The toilets have not been pumped out, some are so full they had to locked up. Why are they being locked up instead of being pumped out? The campground has been under a 'no host available' situation for most of the summer. Without a host nothing is being maintained, including the toilets that are still open running out of toilet paper and not being cleaned for more than a week at a stretch! A few years ago the campground was well maintained, the last two years they have been allowed to fall into a state of disrepair. Very sad that LaMoille Canyon draws people for 100's of miles to come and find it it the shape that it is now. I have been coming to this canyon since before it was paved, please do something to help it back to the splendor we have come to expect. The cost of camping has not gone down, but the quality of the facilities has certainly gone that direction. We talked to a Forest service employee one day, he said he was one of only 2 employees to oversee multiple sites, so he told us 'I don't know what to tell you'. I hope this sad situation can be rectified, if this season then certainly by next year. Please pass my comments on to whoever is overseeing these facilities, if they are not aware of what is happening, they need to be. Thank you for letting me voice my concerns. Mike and Debbie

With no camp host the bathrooms were only cleaned and restocked with toilet paper once during our stay. At the very least someone should check every couple of days and restock. The women’s bathroom on b-loop the door was locked half the time. Think the door handle needs replaced. Just seemed poorly maintained.
