I'm wondering if the upgrades are organized by order of how much money the park brings in? Is it a chicken or the egg scenario?
Some parks are really popular, and generate a lot of revenue so they are well funded by the State, and that funding brings better trails, clean modern bathrooms and bigger sites, which brings in more tourists, and those tourists increase revenue.
Older parks where all the bathrooms are pit toilets, the sites are elbow to elbow, the trails are few and poorly groomed. The shower is from the 40s-50s, dimly lit by one light bulb (maybe a blessing so you can't see the creepy-crawlies). These older parks don't draw big numbers, so they don't generate big revenue, and so, they get passed over for upgrades?
I love our State Parks and their quirks :)
