Uinta changes camp rules

PROVO — Campers can spend no more than 16 nights in a 30-day period at developed or undeveloped campsites in the Uinta National Forest, according to a new special order issued by forest officials.

The order was implemented to clarify campsite-occupancy regulations and to be consistent with other national forests in Utah.

Previously the Uinta National Forest had two different limits, a 16-day limit in undeveloped areas and a 14-day limit in developed areas. The new order is designed to prevent confusion and allows campers staying in developed sites to stay two days longer than under the previous order.
