Yeah but you miss the point. The upper levels of the nps would be happier if there were no visitors at all. They all take Edward Abbey's book "Desert Solitaire" as their guidestar. He has nothing good to say about visitors. They do grudgingly accept that they need visitors to keep the politicians happy. And the politicians supply the money for their salaries.
So don't ever expect to see another CG built or even major improvements to existing CG. Why don't they add FHU at some sites for example, the extra fees would pay for the cost. Florida State Parks have been doing a rolling upgrade on all of the FSP CG for the last 5 or 6 years. They are upgrading the sites to FHU and know that it will pay for itself. Most of the NPS CG were built during the great depression by the CCC and have seen few upgrades since then.
Unless there is a purge of the nps upper bureaucracy that will never change.
