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...

I think that most state park administrators have smartened up and figure that if the average RV'er will pay 35$ for a site in some "RV Resort" then they are justified, competitively speaking, in charging the same for better scenery, semi wilderness big trees, lakes, rivers etc...location location location as they say.
State parks are under pressure from the anti tax, anti government political forces to support themselves as state funding has been taken away. You will pay the cost to operate the park one way or the other, either with taxes or with fees.
Nothing is free. Meanwhile the cost of keeping those state parks open is rising every year.
One thing is certain. You cant complain about the fees if you support the people who take away the funding. And Vice versa.
