PREVIOUSLY POSTED: Malheur National Forest Public Information Officer Amy Franklin was recently in the KJDY and News 102 newsroom, and explained to listeners that gathering information about campgrounds on the forest is as easy as accessing their website:

“You click on the campgrounds, and it will tell you if it’s a fee, free—what it is—and also, when you go on our homepage there’s a column on the right-hand side. There is a campground guide that’ll also give you the location and specifications for those.”
