Questions About Future of Clear Fork Campgrounds

There have been a lot of questions about the future of the Clear Fork campgrounds.  RichlandSource.com reports Mansfield Mayor Tim Theaker talked about 3 possible options for the site at a public utilities meeting on Monday. 


One option is to raise the fees for the campers, a 2nd is to privatize the campgrounds and the final one is to close it down. 


 Theaker says that new wells are needed to be dug that will cost $27,000. The facility needs an electrical upgrade, which can cost over $183,000. Plus, the building needs an upgrade or a brand new one built, which will cost over $337,000.


OXFORD, ME - JUNE 10: Strider Wolf walks towards the camper with a flower pressed between his thumb and forefinger for Lanette Grant, his grandmother, a conciliatory gesture after she had yelled at him for wetting the bed at one of several campgrounds in Maine they would live in throughout the course of the summer of 2015. His therapist had explained that his bed-wetting was a response to trauma, either the unfolding upset in their lives, or some resurrecting memory. Strider and his brother live with their grandparents, the Grants, after Strider was nearly beaten to death by his mother's boyfriend in December 2011. The Grants took the boys who have a multitude of mental issues, despite having their own problems, including living in poverty. (Photo by Jessica Rinaldi/The Boston Globe via Getty Images)
