Does anyone have construction updates about the AAC campground and The New?

Still no water/power or other types of buildings at the AAC. There are plenty of other campgrounds if that is what you are looking for.

Whoa, sorry to have missed this topic the first time around.

Due to several bureaucratic issues, we have not been able to give definite dates on construction and improvements at the NRG campground. However, as Chris said, we have started digging a water/electricity line this week, and are shooting for having utilities good to go for the Craggin' Classic, which is the weekend after next.

The shower house probably will not be completed this season, but hopefully will be up and running for Spring of 2015.

Definitely still in effect, and we're planning on keeping it in the future. Unfortunately, the fact that so many of the campsites are on hills, and heavily covered with dead leaves would make it difficult to have uniform permanent fire pits in each campsite, so we've just decided to limit fires to the two awesome community fire rings that we've put thousands of dollars into. Plus, you know, they build that sense of camaraderie and all that stuff, hehe.

You can still have charcoal grills in individual sites, though.
