It varies, depending on policy at the park and who you talk to. Some folks would like to help you but don't think they have the authority to deviate from the rules. But just tell them what you want to do, don't try to make up a different story.
At a number of COE campgrounds they've let me look around, and for many the gates are not even attended for the day.
Some state parks with day use fees want the fee no matter what your reason for visiting the park. Other states, there is no entry fee.
Strangest one for me, I was following a state highway in Indiana that went through the park, they wanted a day fee or an annual pass to drive across the park. They did let me come in to turn around, without a fee.
