Reclamation and Royal Elk Park Management, Inc. Finalize Interim Concession Contract for Management of the Putah Canyon Recreation Area at Lake Berryessa
On May 24, the Bureau of Reclamation signed an interim concession contract with Royal Elk Park Management, Inc. for management of the Putah Canyon Recreation Area at Lake Berryessa, Napa, Calif. The term of the interim contract is May 24, 2013, through December 31, 2015, plus one, one-year option period.
“Royal Elk Park Management has demonstrated experience and a commitment to visitor satisfaction, and we look forward to working with them as they begin providing much-needed visitor services at Putah Canyon this summer,” stated David Murillo, Regional Director for Reclamation’s Mid-Pacific Region.
Under the interim contract, Royal Elk will provide RV and tent camping, day use, and boat launching at the Putah Canyon Recreation Area. For the Memorial Day weekend, all camping at Putah Canyon will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
Beginning on Wednesday, May 29, campers may call Royal Elk at 707-966-9211 to make reservations for future camping dates. Royal Elk will begin staffing the phone line on Friday, May 24, to provide information only. Please note that currently no RV hook-ups, potable water, flush restrooms or showers are available for campers at Putah Canyon, and visitors/campers are advised to bring bottled drinking water.
Headquartered in Hollister, Calif., Royal Elk manages campgrounds and boat launches at several California locations, including the Pinnacles National Park in San Benito County and the Plumas National Forest’s Bucks Lake, Antelope Lake and Feather River Canyon in Plumas County. For additional information, please visit their website at http://royalelkparkmanagement.com/.
With the signing of this contract, five of the seven concession areas at Lake Berryessa are open for business via commercial concession contracts, and are providing recreation services to the public. The Monticello Shores and Berryessa Point recreation areas are currently closed to public use and will remain closed until a long-term concession contract is awarded.
