Shelf Road Campgrounds Fee Proposal - The Royal Gorge Field Office is seeking public comments regarding a proposal to increase user fees for the the two Shelf Road campgrounds; The Bank and Sand Gulch.  Users fees have never changed since they were instituted in 1995.  However, the costs to maintain and improve these sites have increased considerably since that time.  Fee proposals are outlined in the Shelf Road Campgrounds Business Plan.
