National Parks and the Lack of Adequate # of Camp Sites.
Sort of says it all - Now I have "No Dog in this fight" or "Horse in this Race"
BUT I sure would like to be able to get into YNP on a whim with my Granddaughters! And because they are Girls they require more WATER and ELECTRICITY, so it sure would be nice if the parks would make this Possible.
I personally have no issue - having Been there and Done that - and can do it again (With the present system) - but for the life of me I have a hard time understanding how a NP Service can let an area larger than the State of Rhode Island Burn, but has no ability to create a few more acres of CG's?
So I've opened the door to a very SENSITIVE ISSUE - let's stay civil and see if we can have a discussion that proposes Solutions to this issue. Private or Public - In the Park or out of the Park - Solutions not Sermons.
Let the Games Begin.
Yes you can use the parks and not be Jammed so tight you cannot walk between the RV's
Madison in Yellowstone the way we all would enjoy
Yes Yellowstone and the Tetons are uncrowded at times, but many families only have the time when the kids are out of school.
Are more site the answer or Maybe Buses - and all sites in the surrounding National Forest.
Would love to hear how you think we can solve the problem.
