In Michigan the government is focusing on the catering to the full hookup crowd in state parks... While they continue to neglect beautiful rustic campgrounds. The State can't be alone in that. Others are likely chasing that full hookup dollar.
California's state parks are looking that way also. I know of one that put in cabins (read that as small homes") to rent and they are adding to their hookup sites. Rather than extend their dry campgrounds.

Our state parks don't allow dogs on the trails, near the water, etc. One brochure gave the reason as because there are rattlesnakes in the area... Another one says it's because the dogs' scents will scare off the native wildlife - yet the park is surrounded by homes, the majority of which have dogs, and the wildlife continuosly wanders onto their property. (Sorry rant over)
