I'm just not feeling it. State parks are positioning themselves at Cadillac (or at least Buick) prices while being deficient in services. We rarely go to them any more.
For example, I'm in a FHU park in central Florida on the Withlacoochee River with big lots etc for the monthly rate of $325/mo plus electric, or $13.33 per day assuming $75 electric. The only reason I'd go to the state park up the river, sad to say, is just for a weekend or so. $30/nt plus tax plus $6.70 reservation fee is absurd. And there's no weekly or monthly price.
