Arizona State Park camping fees
Wow! Doesn't look like I will be able to stay in State Parks in Arizona. At $30-$33 per night with no discounts available, I'll have to look elsewhere. Guess I'll have to stay in BLM and NF area...

Unfortunately, California (me a former resident) camping falls right in there with a lot of other mismanagement in that state. I can remember when it was a absolute delight to go camping in its state parks. Then last year, we traveled thru California and the neglect of the campgrounds and the raised fees just about made me cry with those memories.
I suspect we all might be better off it the state simply abandoned the campgrounds and allowed the land to return to the incredible wilderness it once was.
No..imperfect as they are, they're still fun. But they should consider demand based pricing. I was in Crystal Cove last May. $50ish per night no hookup "tent" site (sufficient for 25' RV). Full on weekend, very light mid week. I think they could generate more revenue mid week with lower prices-or at least break even and serve the public with lower prices. Some of these parks are in very desirable locations.
