Lousiianas fee page states that you pay the $6 fee even as a walk up. Otherwise, your prices are about the same as ours without the fee. $22 for w/e. we have a $3 reservation fee, but I don't think you pay it if you walk up. But your prices do drop for the same campsite from October - march by $4. Our rate stays the same all year long.
You also get charged to enter the parks whereas we don't. To me it looks like an ongoing story. State parks are starting to cost about the same as some private parks with more amenities. You can't consider a state park based on the value (cost) anymore. You basically have to assess it for its natural value.

Well said. SD state parks require a user/entry pass for everyone, a $7 res. fee for non resident campers. 1night or 14, its still one fee of $7 to reserve.
We were very satisfied with our reservations and stay in St Bernard SP, La. for 3 weeks in feb. to mar. this year. The 14 day stay limit was easily overcome due to off season with a new reservation fee for another week. In the grand picture Of cost for value, it was peanuts.
Louisiana will see us back any time.
