The National Forest Service has had many of our beloved campgrounds closed for no explanation or poor excuses. These campgrounds many loved and enjoyed. Some are sitting closed and left to rot while nature has started to reclaim it. Polk County, TN is a well known tourist attraction and the forestry department is letting a lot of our campsites and rec areas fall into disrepair, they allow camp host to treat visitors like crap or not even be on site when a problem occurs. Reporting this issues or concerns to the local rangers or directors gets no response. We demand these sites be reopened and better management put in place. Before trump left office he approved TN for 9mil dollars to improve and fix a lot of our sites and Rec areas. Visiting these areas shows they hope that people will forget these sites. They have removed these sites off of all maps and refuses to comment on why.
