Re: Public comment ends today re Cinnamon Bay "Resort

The comment period is now closed.

You'd think the NPS would at least email people who sent in previous comments about Cinnamon Bay planning. It seems that they would rather this public process not be very public.

Can you share the pricing? Cottages, Eco-Tents, platform tents, bare sites?

I can't find the permalink to the article but it's on the main page now.

Re: Thoughts about new Cinnamon Bay / Trunk Bay Concession?

Perhaps you didn't receive the memo, liamsaunt, Cinnamon Bay is no longer a campground -- it's a "resort"! ;) I emailed the company months ago and they sent me this link to show me the eco-tents they plan to install. http://ecostructures.com.au/ Perhaps they'll hire Terminex to deal with t...

Do you know what's in your sunscreen?

Some pretty good info here.

Hopefully some will get re-hired by Redwoods Parks Co.

Re: Thoughts about new Cinnamon Bay / Trunk Bay Concession?

This is the time of year we make our Cinnamon Bay reservations but I think our family will probably hold off this year to see what happens and give the new company some time to make the improvements and get up to speed.
