Going camping or fishing in Clallam or Jefferson counties?

The Department of Natural Resources has had to make budget cuts — along with every other state department. Among the cuts: Garbage collection at eight campgrounds in Clallam and Jefferson counties.

That means if you head to the following campgrounds, you should be prepared to haul your trash out with you:
Clallam County:
Bear Creek Campground
Jefferson County:
Hoh Oxbow Campground
Coppermine Bottom Campground
Cottonwood Campground
South Fork Hoh Campground
Willoughby Campground
Minnie Peterson Campground
Upper Clearwater Campground

There will be signs posted to allert campers, fishers and hunters of the changes. And the garbage cans have already been removed.
