Long awaited Happy Camp remodel begins

The Happy Camp Construction Proj-
ect began at the campground this week.
Despite being one of the community’s
most popular destinations, Happy Camp
has received very little attention over
the years. Renovation plans for Happy
Camp were first discussed and drawn in
1999. Since then, there have been mul-
tiple designs, as well as projected start
dates that were ultimately delayed. At
this point, the roads and utility services
are aged, badly deteriorating and under-
sized for modern RVs.
The Happy Camp Construction Proj-
ect will be an extensive modernization
of the campground area to include re-
habilitation and/or replacement of the
asphalt roads, new concrete walkways,
new sewer system, new water laterals
and new electrical system. There will be
campsite and road layout changes to ac-
commodate larger RVs with slide-outs,
plus the addition of up to 21 more camp-
sites with RV hookups. There are cur-
rently 34 campsites with RV hookups. PHOTO BY DONNA RITCHIE
