State Park permits - is there a better way?
I am making reservations for our first big camping trip and have found 3 state parks in 3 different states that require a state park permit to enter the park. I see all the options for buying in each...

One thing I like about the GA fee, in addition to the fact that you pay one daily fee for your entire stay, is that the fee (using the hang tag they give you at check-in) will cover the daily fee at any other state park during the time the tag is good.
In FL, you have to pay a separate entrance fee to go in a different state park, even if you are camping in a nearby park.
Not sure if my recent stay in a SC state park included a daily entrance fee, but it really bugged me that I had to pay a Reserve America fee to put my registration into the system. No reservation, just show up and check in at the park, and pay a Reserve America fee -- even the night that I didn't get there in time to check in before office closed, so I paid the fee as I was leaving. I would rather pay the state park and entrance fee that could help with operations, than Reserve America when I didn't even make a reservation.
