this guard station have been available
for public rental for a number of years
and are rented approximately 50 nights
during the snow-free season. This
facility will expand rental opportunities
in that it will make a great rental facility
for larger groups or family reunions, as
it will accommodate 8–10 easily, and
more once remodeling plans to add
more sleeping space in the basement are
completed. Fees would continue to help
protect and maintain this structure, as
well as to finance the additional
sleeping area construction work. The
bunkhouse would be available once a
final decision is made and they are
listed with the National Recreation
Reservation Service which is
anticipated for June 2009 at the earliest.
Fees are also proposed at the Willow
Creek campground on the Mountain
Home Ranger District. This site has been
improved with a new accessible toilet
and picnic tables over the last 8 to 10
years and additional income is needed
for its continued operation and
maintenance. A fee study, financial
analysis, and public involvement efforts
have been ongoing since spring 2007 in
an effort to evaluate and designate new
fee sites across the Boise National
Forest. Fees at campgrounds are
generally $15 at sites that provide both
drinking water and trash removal and
$12 at sites that do not provide both of
these amenities. A $5 day use fee is also
proposed at some sites.
Fees would begin to be charged
for rental of the Dutch Creek bunkhouse
and the Willow Creek campground in
May 2009.
