Overnight camping at other campgrounds on the Dixie National Forest have shown that publics appreciate and enjoy the availability of developed recreation facilities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act (Title VII, Pub. L. 108-447) directed the Secretary of Agriculture to publish a six month advance notice in the Federal Register whenever new recreation fee areas are established.
The Fremont River Ranger District of the Fishlake National Forest currently has several fee campgrounds. These facilities are located on Boulder Mountain in south central Utah. They are in close proximity to Scenic Byway 12, an all American highway. This area offers significant recreational camping, fishing, boating, ATV riding, hiking, horseback riding, hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities and is rich in historical and cultural importance. A market analysis indicates that the $20/per night double family camping fee is both reasonable and acceptable for this sort of unique recreation experience.
