Sisters Ranger District to Improve Campsite

A campground on the Sisters Ranger District will close next Monday to allow for construction at the site.  On August 15, Monty Campground on the Lower Metolius River near Lake Billy Chinook will be closed approximately one month ahead of its normal closure. "We are actually eliminating some of those sites; we’re going from 34 sites at the campground down to 12 sites, I think it will be popular for folks seeking more solitude experience. There's going to be more screening and spacing. We're going to improve it to meet ADA standards. So, I think it will be more popular in some ways.” However because it’s so remote the road to the campsite is difficult drive and a lot of people don't want to do that with campers. It is expected to reopen next May.
