Malibu-Guinavah Campground
Malibu-Guinavah campgroud is one of many CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) legacies in Cache Valley. However, after seven decades of service, the aging campground can no longer meet the demands of users today. Inviting by NFS (National Forest Service), James Hansen, Nicolette Maire, Jackson Parkinson and I formed a team to take on the duty of restoring and redesigning the campground.
After visiting and spending a night at the site, we had great understanding of the campground, and realized that
historic wading pond, bridge and amphitheater should be preserved. Not only for the educational purpose, but they also represent a speical period of time.
Analysis and site reconnaissance
Circulation is the primary concern in this proposal. One major vehicular circulation which contains five mini loops was created to optimize on-site circulation efficiency. All campsites are easier to access and manage. However, the downside is, with existing tree massing, the construction process would have high impact to ecosystem.
Conceptual master plan 1
In this proposal, we kept the existing circulation while modifying a few minor spots in order to make it flow. Then different types of campsites were separated, which is more convenience for end users to find their reservation spot. Last but not least, a trail was created to connect all sites and CCC features.
