Rates Going Up at Clear Fork Campgrounds

The rates at the Clear Fork campground are  going up for 2018, after legislation was approved by Mansfield City Council this week. The vote was 7-1 and only councilman Cliff Mears voted against it because the city is not making money and only breaking even. Mears said that when the city privatized the campgrounds, that is the only time they made money. The rates will be  $1,900 for the year, $600 monthly and $50 for daily rates. Last year, monthly was only $335 and daily just $25.  More than $210,000 in repairs for electrical and water service, along with new restrooms are needed at the Clear Fork campgrounds.



OXFORD, ME - JUNE 10: Strider Wolf walks towards the camper with a flower pressed between his thumb and forefinger for Lanette Grant, his grandmother, a conciliatory gesture after she had yelled at him for wetting the bed at one of several campgrounds in Maine they would live in throughout the course of the summer of 2015. His therapist had explained that his bed-wetting was a response to trauma, either the unfolding upset in their lives, or some resurrecting memory. Strider and his brother live with their grandparents, the Grants, after Strider was nearly beaten to death by his mother's boyfriend in December 2011. The Grants took the boys who have a multitude of mental issues, despite having their own problems, including living in poverty. (Photo by Jessica Rinaldi/The Boston Globe via Getty Images)
