Although the National Park Service (NPS), is exploring the possibility of charging overnight campers for their services, it was not certain if this would be feasible. Luis A. Gastellum contacted George B. Hartzog Jr. the NPCS administrator with concerns over the proposed fee program on September 26, 1969. In a letter, he asked the agency to reconsider the idea. The resultant debate lasted until March 1970 when a congressional directive was issued to establish fees.
Private campgrounds can't be subsidized with tax dollars like federal parks and must charge visitors fees. The fee covers the costs of visiting visitors and is therefore necessary. Many campgrounds agree to charge visitors for the services they provide. If you're visiting a popular campground, be prepared to pay a higher price for overnight accommodations. Although you might be able to negotiate lower rates, expect to pay more for overnight accommodations.
There are some campgrounds that offer free camping to seniors. However, these must be in compliance with the government regulations. A senior citizen may camp with four spouses and up to four children. However, a group picnic and backcountry marine fees as well as day-use charges still apply. You must park your second vehicle at the same location and pay half the fee. Additional vehicles must also have valid park tags. A resident who wants to spend a week at a state park will likely be charged more for the privilege.
A campground is a great alternative to paying more for an RV park. Smaller RV parks offer more amenities and are usually cheaper than larger ones. Although the price tag may be lower, you still have somewhere to park your vehicle. This option is great if you're willing sacrifice some amenities. You may even save money on the extra cost for amenities.
A camping pitch is for two people and includes a car as well as a unit. While an awning is not included in the price, some campsites do charge for it. Glimmerglass provides sites for six adults, nine children, and site #165 offers a place for two adults, five children, and one of the most expensive campsites, $165. The rate of a cabin is generally more expensive, but you'll need to ask the campground about amenities in advance to avoid being charged for additional services or amenities.
Prices for camping vary depending on which facility they are located in. The campsite will give each camper an area in a well-known campground. The rate for these campsites is usually fifteen to thirty dollars per day. During high season, groups may have to be separated. The group's number will determine how much cancellation fees are due. Before you arrive at the park, make sure to read all the regulations.
