The road to our camp is gravel and has some huge potholes that are only
getting worse. I have a feeling that simply filling and compacting them
would be very temporary. Any suggestions? I am thinking that a
jackhammer could be used to break up the humps between them and at least
make them wider and less deep.


If the potholes are a result of percolation after a good rain, you may be
spinning your wheels.


I doubt it. The road is along a river. The soil is very sandy and drains
well.
