I made reservations at Blue Lake Campground in July for the Friday of Labor Day Weekend. We were coming on motorcycles and wanted to make absolutely sure we would have a place to stay that first night of our two-week vacation. On August 31, we received a confirmation, which affirmed that, to get to the campground from Randle, which is the direction we would be coming from, we should take Forest Road 23 to the North. So imagine our shock when, as night was falling, we got to Forest Road 23 and it was CLOSED, and the detour to get to the campground would take HOURS. With no choice, we had to camp rough, on the side of the road on Forest Road 29 - even rough camping was packed and our options were severely limited. I'm still so angry that we we won't notified of the closed road.
