Hell Hole may be closed to campers

WALHALLA, S.C., Feb. 21 (UPI) -- The U.S. Forest Service said a South Carolina camp site known as Hell Hole may be closed to camping due to unsanitary conditions.

Sumter National Forest rangers said the camp site, near the Chauga River, has become unsanitary due to trash and human waste left behind by campers, WSPA-TV, Spartanburg, S.C., reported Tuesday.

"It's disgusting, much less ain't sanitary, get in our water system," neighbor Beatrice Bush said of the area's waste.

The Forest Service said it is seeking public input at its Web site and phone number 864-638-9568 before making a decision.
