The National Park Service is looking at the possibility to charge overnight campers, but it wasn't clear if it was possible. Luis A. Gastellum contacted George B. Hartzog Jr. the NPCS administrator with concerns over the proposed fee program on September 26, 1969. In his letter, Luis A. Gastellum urged George B. Hartzog Jr. to continue to study the idea. The resulting discussion lasted until March 1970, at which point a congressional directive was issued to make fees effective.
Private campgrounds are not subsidized like federal parks. They charge visitors' fees. The fee covers expenses incurred for visitors, but it is necessary. Many campgrounds agree with the requirement that visitors pay for the services received. If you're visiting a popular campground, be prepared to pay a higher price for overnight accommodations. Sometimes you may be able negotiate a lower rate but expect to pay more.
Some campgrounds offer free camping for seniors, but they must comply with government regulations. A senior citizen can camp with up to four spouses and four children, but a group picnic, backcountry, marine fees, and day-use fees still apply. The fee includes half-off for a second vehicle. A valid park tag must be displayed on the additional vehicle. A resident who wants to spend a week at a state park will likely be charged more for the privilege.
Consider staying in a campground if you are unable to afford an RV Park. Many smaller RV parks have more amenities and are cheaper than larger parks. Although prices are lower, there will still be a place for you to park your RV. This can be a good option if you are willing to give up certain amenities. You might even be able to save money by not paying extra for amenities.
Camping pitches can be rented for up to two people. A tarp is not required, but some campsites require it. Glimmerglass offers sites for six adults with nine children and site #165 has sites for two adults and five kids. To avoid additional fees or charges, a cabin usually costs more. However, you should check with the campground before booking.
There are many factors that affect the cost of camping. At popular campgrounds, campsites will assign each camper a specific space. These sites charge between fifteen and thirty dollars per night. Sometimes groups will need to be broken up in high seasons. If a group cancels, the cancellation fee will be determined by the number of participants. Before you arrive, please read the rules and regulations.
