For what it is worth... I was at the Maxwell/Gunter rec area a couple months ago and I asked the worker there what was going on and if they planned to close the place because it looked dead. He told me that some Major came to stay at the campground and was very upset that he could not get a choice spot on the water because of all the full time/many years residents who were there. Apparently this person did not let it drop there and went to Maxwell to the powers that be and got the policy changed to move off the permanent residents and free up the choice spots. Not sure if this is true but since the guy worked there it did seem reasonable to assume he had some inside information.

But what doesn't make sense is the shelves in the place are almost bare and he told me Maxwell was not stocking the them and were pretty much ignoring supply orders. So something amiss does seem to be going on there.

At the time, my wife and I speculated then that it may not be long before the place closes.

As a footnote, it does seem that the full timers living there did in fact keep the place alive. Especially during winter when most visitors stayed away. So evicting them may have really hurt the steady income they had.
