I think there is a general misunderstanding here. The vendors who run reservation systems like Reserve America have NO authority to raise or lower the cost of any campground or park.
They make their money by charging a reservation fee or in some cases taking a commission agreed upon with the state.
In most states a rise in the park rates would take an act of the legislature.
Contracting with a company to do online/Tel reservations cannot be classified as Privatization of parks.
