For those who have not heard about this:

Last Monday, Sept. 16th, another Park Police Officer paid us a visit. He inspected inside the Bush then came out and called out the NPS maintenance department. When the crew arrived he told them to remove all the camp chairs from inside the bush. They were going to come back another day to do that.

The Officer came over to the picnic table and told us that the bush is considered “off-trail” and that we are not allowed to go inside it under penalty of misdemeanor charges and a fine.

He also told us that we can’t leave any chairs out overnight in the dugout, that we have to pack them out at the end of each day.

To clarify what a pilot asked me, we can still use the dugout. The only new mandate about the dugout is that we are not allowed to leave chairs there overnight.
There was an area in the middle of the bush (not the dugout) that was being used as well. The middle of the bush is the area we've been told we can no longer use.

Here is a video of the U.S. Park Police Officer telling us how it is. The audio is very low so you will need to turn up the volume.
