I talked to Chris P on the phone about this the other day and that was one of the issues brought up. There is limited area to have any campground at LC until you get in the back there beyond that gate. Getting anyone to be a campground host in an area like that will be tough, IMO but he said that was likely the only way they would open that gate. He said all these issues will be decided in the future and he felt it was unlikely that anything more than paving the road would happen this year. Not sure of it's condition but I'm sure you are aware there is a pit toilet way back there. Back in the day we could camp for free there, when that road access was open but I guess there were those that had some big party's back in there and after the sheriff was called on several different occasions, they shut it down. As you said they haven't closed that gate by the base of the dam for many years but I don't think they ever closed at the hours listed there, except for maybe that first year, when they put the gate up, I know it did not last for long.
