Fees may rise at Arrowhead Campground
The National Forest Service is considering a fee increase at one of the most popular campgrounds in the Uwharrie National Forest.
Arrowhead Campground is a family campground (drinking water, flush toilets, showers, etc.) with 50 sites, including 33 with electricity. It is near Badin Lake, Cove Boat Launch and Kings Mountain Point. Reservations are strongly recommended in season.
To meet rising maintenance costs, the NFS proposes to raise fees at Arrowhead from $12 to $15 for non-electric sites in 2010, then to $18 in 2012. Electric sites will cost $20, up from $15, in 2010 and then $25 2012. Non-electric double sites go from $24 to $30 in 2010 and $36 in 2012. Double sites with electricity are $30 now and would rise to $40 in 2010 and $50 in 2012.
Comment on the proposal by October 23 at: Uwharrie National Forest, 789 N.C. 24/27 East, Troy, NC 27371, Attn: Theresa Savery or at
Higher fees are also proposed for Cedar Point Campground in the Croatan National Forest. Cedar Point is a family campground with 40 sites and is near a boat ramp, fishing pier and interpretive trails.
The basic single site fee at Cedar Point would increase from $12 per night to $16 in 2010, and $20 in 2012. Sites with electrical hookups would go from $17 per site per night, to $22 in 2010 and $28 in 2012.
