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...

And it took a lot of employees working overtime to keep that $20 million hidden for 13 years. You have to decide between your own perks and the public good:
Parks Officials Kept $20M Hidden
I'm not sure what your point is about "your own perks".
The money was never spent or diverted or stolen or used for personal purposes during that 13 years. While that doesn't make it right, I don't think there were necessarily evil or selfish intentions.
(I do believe it was bigger than just CA State Parks - there were other departments under the umbrella of the Resources Agency that also had hidden money, so it was likely from higher up).
But, this is a far leap away from the discussion about State Parks being able to support themselves completely with camping/day use fees while maintaining reasonable camping/day use fees for the public.
