The money would have to come from some source. How would the general population feel if money was diverted from schools, from our crumbling infrastructure, from social programs etc. to fund construction of RV parks that serve what appears to be a relatively small and affluent segment of the population, people who can afford to own and operate recreational vehicles?
Furthermore, the basic needs of the RVing public are being taken care of by private enterprise. There is no great shortage of private RV parks around the national parks. Construction projects within the national park system will always be a last resort. The government does not owe RVers sites in the prime areas national parks and monuments. There is no constitutional right to an RV site next to Old Faithful or on the White House lawn.
