Supposedly they where going to reduce this area down to one large camping area (with the remains of three fireplaces in it), and make other improvements under the Unit Management Plan, but it's obvious that Vanderwhacker has not had any money invested into it in a very long time.

The picnic table and fire pit was in pretty rough shape, although the outhouse looked a little better off. It's obvious the state has put no repair or effort into the upkeep of this camping area since the early 1970s, although it does appear that it has been mowed.
