Here's an interesting article about Croom from the St Pete Times, Nov 3, 1973. They refer to it as the Buttgenbach Mines Recreation Area.

How is Croom these days?  Its been awhile since the family has
gone up.  We quit because of the people.  We are thinking about
giving it a try soon. I hear the OAS closed down.  Thats a big lose
it was nice to have the bike shop right there. Any in put will help.

Thanks for the replies. How much are the passes now?
I know the first of July it changes again.  Also do
they lock the entry gate at nite? I think thats why alot
of people stopped going to the Big Scrub. I don't like
to feel lock in or traped.

I hear Croom will be closed for the month of August for paving the main road that runs from front to back. Can anyone confirm?

When I asked at the gate two weeks ago this is what they told me.    They had plans for June, that was pushed off to July, now it looks like August.  They said they will try to post it at the gate house to give folks some warning.

I was there one weekend years ago with over 1500 attendees that weekend and DIDNT have any issues with too many people on the trails, parking was tight but those were the good ol'e days!!!    Crowded nowadays at croom is pretty good conditions. Talk to the rangers, they are pretty cool if they get to know you and of course if you follow the rules.

Can you ride tandem at Croom on a standard atv?  I don't see anything on their web site that says you can't.  I'd like to take my wife for a ride and I don't have a two person atv.

I think if you stay outta sight you'll be OK but NO you cannot ride 2 up unless the atv is designed for it by the manufacturer. I am not telling you to do it though! your on your own with this one.

They enforce the rules, if the unit is a one person, its one person only.

I've watched a ranger give a warning for it, not 20 mins later the same people were ridin double and caught again. He then issued a ticket for it, the ranger said if they are caught again they will lose there sticker.
