Plan on spending 3 or 4 days in Texas State Parks (Dinosaur Valley & Balmorhea): As I understand it the fee is $7 per day per person, is that right? DW & I would be $42 for 3 nights or $56 for 4 nights. Still cheaper than the $70 annual fee. Wisconsin charges per vehicle and you get a sticker. Does Texas make you wear a wrist band or something? Sorry for my ignorance.
Thanks for any info.

The park pass also gives a discount on your camping fees of 50% up to 4 nights for stays 2 days or more. (The first night is full price)
When you check in to the park you flash your card to get your discounts and they give you a pass to tape to the inside of the vehicles windshield during your stay.
Edit: should have read the entire thread first, looks like folks covered the camping fee discount already. Note also Texas parks are first-come-first-serve (can't reserve a specific spot) and many parks have limited big rig spots available and these go quickly at the popular parks on the weekend.
