In the late 1970s, in response to rapidly increasing visitor use
and proliferating impacts, the condition of all campsites in the
backcountry of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks was assessed
by park research staff. All campsites were located and assigned to
one of 273 different subzones; their condition was assessed on the
basis of eight impact parameters: vegetation density, vegetation
composition, total area of the campsite, barren core area, campsite
development, litter and duff, social trails, and tree mutilations.
In 2006 and 2007, to ascertain trends in impact, the campsite
survey was repeated in 120 of the 273 subzones (44% of the
wilderness).
