No more free parking in Anchorage (?)

There are many municipalities in throughout the country that have camping facilities, it's not uncommon. Usually they are integrated with municipal park initiatives; great idea in my opinion.

And I feel there is a big difference between having campsites in a park and developing a stand alone campground. I can see the logic in a small town with no competing private campground, but for a city to develop a park to directly compete with existing private parks would be wrong in my opinion.
