Lake Pillsbury Rest Camp25.00LakeportOn 26 Sep. 1947, the US Government acquired 25 permit acres from the Dept. of Agriculture. The site was used as a rest and recreation camp by Hamilton Field Army Air Force personnel and their families. There are no known improvements to the site. On 6 May 1949, 25 permit acres were retransferred to the US Forest Service. The site is owned by the US Forest Service and is currently known as the Sunset Campground.
Upper Lake District Navy CampUpper LakeThe site has been in continuous fee ownership of USDA Forest Services since 1907, with USDA Forest Services advising that DoD interest in the site was via a memorandum of understanding (special use permit). Since copies of the document could not be located, it cannot be determined what, if any, site restoration conditions were contained therein, or when and under what circumstances the memorandum was terminated, if indeed it ever was. USDA Forest Services personnel also advise us that they may have used the facilities for a short time after abandonment by the Navy. This would seem to be the case, based on site evidence of a USDA Forest Service-installed buried gas tank adjacent to the generator house foundation, and a general storage of USDA Forest Services road construction materials (culverts) throughout the site. The use of the facilities by USDA Forest Services, if it occurred, would have been for their convenience.
