It is pretty obvious from the differences expressed in this thread that there is a wide range of opinions of what "our" National Parks should provide.
I for one do not want to see National Parks turned into trailer parks. I purposely travel in a small trailer so that I fit in most of them. I've equipped the trailer so I can dry camp (without a generator). As others have mentioned, almost all of the National Parks are surrounded with commercial campgrounds that cater to those that feel the need for full hookups. Seems to me like there is already a choice for the type of campground one prefers.
I agree.
RVs are designed to be self-contained. So national parks shouldn't be expected to develop FHU campsites for those who choose NOT to dry camp.
If you HAVE to have hookups, instead of dry camping, stay in a commercial RV campground outside the park.
I don't want a bunch of crammed parking lot campgrounds, like Fishing Bridge, in our national parks.
