Was there any justification given for closing/giving away Big Hart? It seemed pretty busy to me.
COE releasing control of a park happens for a number of reasons. Two biggest is budget short fall and/or local authorities wish to take control. From this article, it seems it was a combination of the two. McDuffe County to Operate . . .
I do know I recently traveled through South Dakota and the state took over all of the COE parks when there was budget cuts years ago. Instead of letting the COE close the parks for a while, they took over the operations. Today South Dakota has some very nice state park campgrounds.
