So how are they going to keep the "dry campers" out of their facilities such as the bathhouse?
That's an easy one ... issue keys to regular paying customers or have combination locks on all facility doors that only regular paying customers have the combination to.
We've stayed at many, many commercial campgrounds that required use of issued keys or combination locks on their facility doors.
The point is "IF" a commercial campground wants to start using some/any of it's extra land/acerage to at least get $10/night for one-night-only stop-overs ... then install a key or combination system on the doors of it's facilities.
We'd gladly use $10 one-night-only spots in commercial campgrounds as much as we could on RV trips .... whenever we were enroute to/from more beautiful multi-night camping places on state and federal lands.
We have been in a lot of campgrounds where when checking in they gave you a code to the restrooms, rec room and laundry room. So it can be done. We have never had a key and I think unless a deposit was made at check in that they would loss a lot of keys. The combination lock would also keep vagrants from just coming in and use the facilities.
