NY State Park campgrounds have had $5 out-of-state surcharge for several years now. It really doesn't seem to have made much difference in the out of state/country license count I see in the parks. Right now COVID-19 has been a bigger factor limiting out of staters and northern neighbors, but it's still difficult to find available sites even for next year. We have a two week 4th of July stay locked up along with a one week Labor Day stay for next year, but finding acceptable stays in between is proving to be difficult. We did luck into a one week cancellation for next week at a NY state park that just opened a few years ago that we've wanted to check out though. We'll be there Sunday afternoon...
