In Colorado, the state has cut off virtually all spending for state parks, funding now coming exclusively from the Lottery and user fees. There have even been occasional, fortunately unsuccessful, attempts to divert some of that money for "other" purposes. There has been some deterioration of services and maintenance but, thanks to the camp hosts and volunteers, most of the parks are still in reasonably good shape. Many of the federal campgrounds in the state have gone to private concessionaires, which has resulted in an overall increase in facilities & hookups, but little improvement in maintenance.
