Image Description from original transcript: .The Forest Service is an Ideal Host..In addition to the construction of roads and trails to open up the forests, in cooperation with the States and under appropriations by Act of Congress, the Forest Service has established and improved free public campgrounds on all National Forests, for the convenience of tourists and campers. The improvements include water supplies, fireplaces and stoves, tables and benches, signs and guide posts, toilets, garbage disposal facilities, and in a few cases bath houses, swimming pools, and overnight shelters...There are more than 4,000 improved campgrounds on the National Forests, and during the recreation season of 1931, found and a half million o fall the visitors to the Forests used the camps. The California Region has the greatest number of improved campgrounds over 1,200, and this Region had the greatest number of visitors to its camps during the 1931 season 1.5 million people. The North Pacific Region has the next largest number of forest campgrounds, but the Rocky Mountain Region was next to the California Region in the number of people who visited its camps during the season of 1931. All of the Western Regions, however, have hundreds of campgrounds prepared for the use of visitors, and during the recreation season of 1931 entertained thousands of visitors daily, and hundreds of thousands for the year...The Eastern Forest Region and the Lake States Region are of later development that are the Western Regions, and are much smaller in area. Campground development, however, had not lagged in these Regions, and they are prepared to take care of visitors who wish to use camps. In proportion to their size they furnished campground entertainment during the season of 1931 for as many people as did any of the Western Regions |
