Abstract

Tenting on the New Camp Ground
Eaton, Walter Prichard | September 14, 1921 issue

add to cart   close window

The most conspicuous thing in the West now is the sign, free municipal campground. Almost every city, town, and hamlet, from the Dakotas to the Pacific, maintains such a campground, and it is in constant use. Moreover, the national parks are full of campers who have come by motor and who do not go to the hotels at all. Before the first of August there had been 100,000 visitors at Yellow-stone, the majority of whom, a hotel man woefully complained, were sage ticks. He meant that they were sagebrush farmers or ranchman who had come into the park with their families, on an outing, and who were camping.
