I don't really see how it costs the government any money to leave an already rustic campground open during the off season. There's no bathrooms to clean, no money tube to empty... usfs law enforcement are still on the payroll and could drive through now and then, they're not seasonal workers.
My opinion of the company is pretty low.
I have a hunting shack on 13 acres of land I own, surrounded by a few hundred acres of also privately owned land. It's only accessible by about a 1 mile drive down a two track (private road with a gate no less) and then a quarter mile hike through the woods. My hunting shack has been used for target practice, a bathroom stall and everything else. It's only a plywood shack with 4 walls. An improved facility, on public land, down an improved road wouldn't have a chance. NO Cost you say; I'll bet you wouldn't leave your pickup parked next to the restroom in "off season" and go away for about a week.
