Recreation Residences
Recreation residences, or summer homes, are private
structures located on National Forest System land. The
structures are authorized under a special use permit
issued by the local Ranger District office. Recreation
residences sell through reality offices. If you are
interested in purchasing one, please contact a realtor
in the area where you are interested. Prior to purchase
of a recreation residence, you are required to meet
with the local District Ranger to discuss requirements
of holding a special use authorization. National

Campground Concessions
The majority of the developed recreation opportunities in the Rocky Mountain Region are provided by private campground concession companies. These companies operate Forest Service camping facilities. A portion of the revenue derived on the National Forest is returned the recreation facility in the form of maintenance and reconditioning work. This is an important contribution to the upkeep of Forest Service facilities. National Forest Recreation Association
