Upgrades coming to campgrounds in Crystal Basin area
By Cathy Locke, Sacramento Bee
Two popular Eldorado National Forest campgrounds in the Crystal Basin Recreation Area are slated for improvements as part of $150 million in projects tied to the Sacramento Municipal Utility District’s hydroelectric operations on the Upper American River.
Upgrades to existing facilities as well as some new improvements are planned this spring and summer at the Sunset and Azalea Cove campgrounds near Union Valley Reservoir as well as to the Gerle Creek Reservoir area.
