FUTURE OF LAWSON’S LANDING THREATENED
After 17 years of
working with Marin County to legitimize Lawson's Landing it has come down
to the fact that some things are going to have to change. The
Environmental Impact Report (necessary for the Master Plan application and
costing around $900,000) identified much of the campground area as
wetlands. In the near future there will be no more camping in the
wetlands. Most of the rest of the campground lies within 100 feet of
identified wetlands. The Marin County Planning Commission has decided
that camping should not be allowed there either. The 100 foot setback
would limit camping to perhaps 200 cramped campsites that would easily run
$80 to $100 per night. The current master plan before the Commission asks
for 600 sites (which we may not even have room for) including seasonal
sites within the setback. And before you ask, be assured that we
can get no permits without some sort of identified sites for camping.
Best case scenario: things change but you can still come camping. Worst
case scenario: things really change, you can't afford to camp here but
certain special people can. If you are interested in keeping your options
open, please email kshine@co.marin.ca.us or come to
the meetings:
