It spoils the nature of hiking
A quiet parking lot with a couple parked cars is one thing to come upon at a remote road crossing.
A party with 10 people there drinking beer and barbecueing, is something else.
The ATC is remiss in not working to get rid of this stuff.
Same goes for cooler and items left abandoned. On most national forest land, its even illegal to do so.
