In order to <br />minimize the extent of the area sustaining these impacts, designated <br />campsites will be maintained in the river canyons. Overnight camping <br />will be restricted to these sites, except in emergency situations or <br />when authorized in advance by the Superintendent. <br /> <br />Campsite location will be based on historic use and with consideration <br />of logistic, geographic, esthetic and safety factors. In order to <br />maintain visitior use at levels which will not result in unacceptable <br />deterioration of natural ecosystems or diminishment of the user <br />experience, nightly capacities will be established for each campsite. <br />Opportunities for single-group camping will be expanded. <br /> <br />The following river campsites will be ,available for use by boating <br />parties: <br /> <br />Campsite <br /> <br />Capacity (groups) <br /> <br />Lodore Canyon: <br /> <br />Wade and Curtis. . . . . . . ..
