CEDAR CITY — Some campers and hikers may need to make alternative plans as Duck Creek Campground will be partially closed this season after receiving a monetary boost.
Dixie National Forest was awarded over $2.1 million from The Great American Outdoors Act and the Utah Outdoor Adventure Commission to redesign and renovate 35 campsites. The service will install new furniture in campground loops B, C and D.
They will also install redesigned signage, fix parking spurs, define hardened tent pads associated with campsites, and add designated family units consisting of a fire ring, picnic table and a charcoal grill stand, according to a news release issued by the Forest Service.
The Ponderosa and Duck Creek group campsites will be redesigned with new tables, fire rings and pavilion shade structures that will "provide a better camping experience," according to the release. The Forest Service also plans to add three concrete vault toilets across the campground to reduce demand on facilities in other parts of the campground.
