A new campground will be built in Cedar Canyon, Utah, replacing the previously proposed day-use site.
Initially proposed as a day-use site, 55 acres of land in Cedar Canyon was recently approved for the construction of a new campground. The Bureau of Land Management wrote in a press release that the project aims to enhance recreational opportunities while preserving Iron County, Utah 's natural beauty and resources. The bureau previously completed a draft environmental assessment for the proposed day-use site, with a public comment period ending in late February.
In all, 13 people commented on the document, with many suggesting a campground rather than a day-use site, the final assessment states. In response, the Cedar City Field Office canceled the original assessment and completed a new document for the Coal Creek Campground. The BLM states that the campground will still meet the purpose and needs of the day-use project while providing additional recreation opportunities for the public
