Gap Campsite Pack-In/Pack-Out and Site Stewardship Agreement

Gap Campsite is a remote, river-access-only site with no garbage collection or disposal service. Every user is responsible for removing everything brought to the campsite and leaving the site clean and undamaged.

Compliance with this agreement is a condition of every reservation.

2. Garbage and recycling

☐ All garbage, recycling, food waste and odorous refuse will be sealed and secured on the provided bear lines until departure.
