ABSTRACT 



Vegetation in heavlly-used campgrounds is often seriously 

 depleted. When popular sites are rehabilitated, a combination 

 of better campground design and better cultural practices can 

 probably reverse this deterioration. At Point Campground in 

 central Idaho, 2 years of treatment of a rehabilitated site pro- 

 duced substantial improvement of ground cover vegetation on 

 units receiving water, fertilizer, and seed. Units receiving 

 water and fertilizer, or water and seed, improved only slightly; 

 seed alone produced no improvement. Although weekly water- 

 ing required overnight closing of the campground, visitor 

 acceptance was very good.
