Committee approves preliminary work to expand Gordon Dam Campground by 20 sites
Summary
The committee approved beginning preliminary, phased expansion work at Gordon Dam Campground (design includes 20 new campsites) using existing staff time and equipment; grant funding remains a potential future source but highly competitive.
Committee members reviewed campground maps and weekend occupancy rates for 2022–2025 and discussed pros and cons of expanding Mooney Dam and Gordon Dam campgrounds. The department recommended initially focusing on a slow, multi-year expansion of Gordon Dam Campground using existing staff time and equipment, and presented a design option that would add 20 new campsites.
The committee approved a motion to begin preliminary expansion efforts at Gordon Dam Campground as staff time and equipment allow and to revisit the project in the future when necessary (Motion by Baker, second Cummings). Staff noted that grant funding may be available for either expansion project but is likely to be highly competitive.
