Of course, when gas stations raise the price of gas before a hurricane, its called price gouging, and against the law but when a campground does it, its called capitalism
So let me get this straight --in which way are you equating a gas station selling a gallon of gas (that is federally regulated).... to a campground??????
can you please explain further
A natural disaster like a tornado an earthquake or a hurricane is not a planned event -----therefore if you suddenly raise the price( there is the federal excise tax and stuff )--and guess that's why it's State &Federal regulated..(hence Price Gouging making money off others misfortune.)
A Balloon Fiesta ,the National Cherry Festival, Super Bowl.......... things along this line ---- are events that are planned months, years in advance--- and there's a supply and demand .
so I really don't see where a gallon of gas and a camp spot are even close to being related---- except you need fuel to get to both.
