Tahoe National Forest is not being managed for people. It has turned into a logging operation, and it's devastating to us that have loved this area for a long time. You would think because it is Lake Tahoe, the priority is supposedly the lake, tourism, they would be sensitive to destroying the very thing people come to the forest for--THE FOREST. But they are logging the forest now, industrial scale, a lot of destruction, while the campgrounds, the recreational facilities go unmaintained. It's terrible. We thought there was all this advocacy for the forest and the lake. It was all safe and protected--but it's not. We are seeing stumps and logging in places we have never seen it before. Who are these people letting this happen? These are STILL OUR public lands. We don't know ANYONE who wants Lake Tahoe Forests LOGGED, so obviously, they don't care about the public. The other sad thing is with the way things are now with the climate heating everything up, we are seeing places where the forest does not come back or it comes back looking sick. Please speak out. Regarding the campgrounds along 89, there are too many campsites in them and they are congested in the summer. The roads are narrow and unmaintained. Maybe instead of LOGGING, maintain the campgrounds and picnic areas???Re: do not select campsite, 21. It should be removed as a campsite. It's terrible. First you can't get TO IT. There is a giant boulder in the drive-in for the campsite that makes the entry very narrow not to mention you can hit your door/car on it when you open it. Also the other two campsites below completely overwhelm and dominate the whole area and there was a truck from the adjacent campsite blocking our ability to even DRIVE INTO the campsite. The other two sites are so large, accommodate so many vehicles, the upper parking area for the one next door actually BLOCKS entry into Site #21. Overall, terrible experience. We ended up just leaving in total frustration.
