Classification and Management Planning (CAMP)

Classification and Management Planning (CAMP) Classification and Management Planning (CAMP) Washington State Parks Recreation and Conservation Plan 208 State Parks land uses vary from highly developed interpretive centers and overnight facilities to undeveloped areas preserved for passive recreation, interpretation and natural resource conservation. The Commission designates appropriate land uses for each of its parks through a public planning process called Classification and Management Planning, or CAMP. The CAMP process sets land classifications, designates long-term park boundaries, and develops management prescriptions for key park issues on a park by park basis. The Commission completed its first CAMP process in 1996, and has since completed plans for approximately 75% of its properties. State Parks land classifications are similar to county or municipal land use zones. The Commission has developed six land classifications that set the appropriate intensity for recreational activity and facility development within parks. The classifications range from Natural Area Preserves that limit use to research and education purposes only to Recreation Areas that allow high intensity recreational use and facility development. The six State Parks land classifications are: • Recreation Areas are suited and/or developed for high-intensity outdoor recreational use, conference, cultural and/or educational centers, or other uses serving large numbers of people. • Resource Recreation Areas are suited and/or developed for natural and/or cultural resource-based medium-intensity and low-intensity outdoor recreational use. • Natural Areas are designated for preservation, restoration, and interpretation of natural processes and/or features of significant ecological, geological, or paleontological value while providing for low-intensity outdoor recreation activities as subordinate uses. • Heritage Areas are designated for preservation, restoration, and interpretation of unique or unusual archaeological, historical, scientific, and/or cultural features and traditional cultural properties that are of statewide or national significance. • Natural Forest Areas are designated for preservation, restoration, and interpretation of natural forest processes while providing for low-intensity outdoor recreation activities as subordinate users, and which contain: a) Old-growth forest communities that have developed for one hundred fifty years or longer and have the following structural characteristics: large old-growth trees, large snags, large logs on land, and large logs in streams; or b) Mature forest communities that have developed for ninety years or longer; or c) Unusual forest communities and/or interrelated vegetative communities of significant ecological value. • Natural Area Preserves are designated for preservation of rare or vanishing flora, fauna, geological, natural historical, or similar features of scientific or educational value, and which are registered and committed as a natural area preserve through a cooperative agreement with an appropriate natural resource agency pursuant to chapter 79.70 RCW and 332-60 WAC. A long-term park boundary identifies lands that further the recreation and conservation mission of a park. When the Commission designates a long-term park boundary that is larger than the current State Parks ownership, it may seek to purchase lands or easements from willing sellers, or it may seek to formalize an agreement with an adjacent landowner to advance shared management goals. In some cases, though, the designated long-term park boundary is smaller than the current agency ownership; in those cases, properties outside the boundary are considered surplus to Commission needs, and are intended to be sold, leased, or transferred to another entity. The third product of CAMP is a park management plan. Management plans are relatively simple documents that describe a park’s principle features, set park-wide management objectives, and outline specific approaches and prescriptions in response to issues identified through the planning process. These plans also document the planning process and serve as a clearinghouse for supporting information. The state parks and properties with completed or in-process CAMPs are shown in the table below.
