I live full time in Salida- in my RV for 3 seasons and a rental house in winter. This has nothing whatsoever to do with ATVs. A number of years ago, Colorado Parks and Wildlife managed to secure rights to the river corridor and placed a number of campgrounds and boat ramps along the corridor. This increased costs for everyone to use the river and/or camp, but was for the most part a positive step as it reduced conflicts with rafters and kayakers crossing private lands to enter and exit the river. The developed sites have toilets and parking, etc. There is one of these boat ramps at Salida East with a toilet. Adjacent is an open BLM dispersed camping area. Many full time RVers or families on summer caping trips use the area for 14 days as allowed then move elsewhere. Some may return more than once in a year as allowed. Many seasonal raft guides and others caught in Salida's zero available housing crisis use it this way also. Some homeless people use it this way and they tend to be less responsible with their trash than actual campers who appreciate the outdoors. So there has been some trash. For the first time this year the BLM allowed a camp host to stay full time- non paid. This solved the trash problem and was a great solution. Local sentiment is mixed- many want to see it stay as is especially those who are into outdoor recreation- they may not use this area but the likely camp elsewhere and realize the value of a free camping area. Some locals who don't appreciate the value of camping don't care if if changes hands. There are many hundreds of paid camp sites up and down the river corridor so adding one more does meet any need. The issue is really about relieving the BLM from their mandate of managing public lands- the Colo Parks will get it and turn it into a revenue generator for themselves and the private enterprise that gets the money for managing the reservation system. A very very very minor side benefit to people who go past it on the river is it might be a bit less ragged or used looking. A major downside for anyone who uses public lands is that something that was free will now cost money-- so fewer people will enjoy it.
