We have been going to Woodsman group camp for 48 years in a row, always a good time, the lake was full this year, kids had a ball.

For 25 years I've been organizing group camping for a group of folks. Mostly we've camped at the Woodsman Loop in Emigrant Group Campground. This year something changed. First, the vault toilet facility emitted an awful smell that went far beyond the restroom facility. The camp host informed me that it won't be pumped until the end of the season. There are a lot more days in this season and I hate to think of the smell in the campground as the season reaches its end.
I'm told by the camp host that it is too costly to have it pumped when needed. Note, the adjoining, Logger Campground, has 248 campsites and Emigrant group has four. We paid $201 per night. If all units at Logger and Emigrant Group campgrounds were occupied for one day it would total $7574.00. Multiply that number by the number of days in the "season" you come up with a very large number.
Granted, all units are not occupied every day. The point is, surely those who operate the campground can afford to have their vault toilets pumped more than once a season.
Secondly, for the first time we were asked to pay an extra $5 per night per car extra beyond our 15 car limit. We paid. No receipt was offered. This fee was not mentioned upon reserving the site, nor have we ever had to pay extra for vehicles exceeding 15 in number. A receipt would have been nice, an indication that maybe those funds would go toward pumping the vault toilets, renovating the weather warn benches or the large asphalt cracks in the driveway.
