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...

the real answer which no one in power wants to face - give us the parks, charge what we need to run it and keep the revenue ALL of it, in the park. CA wants to make the parks sustainable and separate - if it wants that, then quit taking the money - I'd bet if the campgrounds took in the funding, even raising the rates a bit to make it happen, we'd pay it - but not if the raise in fees occurs and NOTHING changes. That funding has to stay there and it would work ..
When you says "different folks have different priorities" and so the forests and watershed comes in second or third because it hasn't failed yet - so it's not emergency. Once it becomes an emergency and the watershed fails, and the homes in LA have NO water, then it's an emergency but too late to heal it -- never has I see a "gut reaction response work" AFTER the fact. Once that watershed fails - California is dead meat ... Mad Max #4 and he won't have to fake it or film elsewhere - be tight there on the I-405 & I-118 ...
We need to keep that Sierra wilderness intact - and the groundwater - protect it at all costs - if we expect to harvest timber, drink water, and water crops in the San Joaquin valley. Farmers start trucking water in to grow crops, see how much a carrot costs then, let alone a campsite.
And it's not the camper that has to pay for that sustainable ecosystem - it's the entire state. Camp fees won't even come close --
