They cost $150,000.
Fine automobile camps are maintained along many of the important National and State Forest highways for the use of tourists.
Concrete fireplaces, tables, benches and running water are provided at these wayside camping places.

The tourists who carry their camp kits like to stop at these automobile camps.

They meet many other tourists and exchange information about the best trails to follow and the condition of the roads.

Sometimes, permanent cabins and shelters are provided for the use of the cross-country travelers.

The only rules are that care be exercised in the use of fire and the camping sites be kept in clean and sanitary condition.
All the forest roads are posted with many signs asking the tourists to be careful in the use of matches, tobacco and camp fires, so as not to start destructive forest fires.
