Fire danger at the campground is a serious concern to the Volunteer Rockland Rural Fire District. The current method of management of these lands is irresponsible and unacceptable. The conditions of the roadway, the unmanaged placement of vehicles and camp trailers in high density, and the dangerous practices occurring at the campground make the area unsafe, unaccessible, and un-protectable for fire control. The Fire District cannot guarantee the safety of the public or nearby landowners while the campgrounds remain in this chaotic state.

As someone who lives locally, we don’t not use this area due to it being overrun constantly with out of town campers. We have cleaned up shoes, beer cans, garbage, mattresses, etc. from this area. We love our home and mountains and want them to receive the respect and care they deserve.

I would love to see this campground taken care of and respected by outsiders. Lived in Rockland my whole life and want to see it taken care of or closed to public.
