GP Police Posted 60 Campsites for Unlawful Camping at SE J Street Campground
For the first time since two new campsites were designated in Grants Pass, police officers moved in to post trespass warnings on Wednesday.
According to rules approved by the Grants Pass City Council, campers are allowed to stay seven days at the campsites on SE J Street and 6th & A streets, with a three-day warning before they are cited.
During a check of the J Street Camp yesterday, officers posted 60 campsites with a 72-hour warning. Those campers must move to the 6th & A Camp by this weekend or they will be cited. City Council members have expressed concerns that the 6th & A site might not be large enough to accommodate that many campers.
Meanwhile at the J Street Camp, one man was cited for violating campsite rules which led to a 30-day exclusion. A man and three women were cited for Improper Utilization of Space. A woman was cited for Scattering Rubbish.
