Visiting camgrounds

We have asked for permission to drive through and look at many public campgrounds (State Parks, COE, NFS, etc.) We have never been asked for a fee and have always been made to feel welcome.

Keep in mind though that public campgrounds - i.e. state, COE, provincial, conservation areas, etc - are likely to insist on charging a normal day use fee that applies to everyone else entering for the day.

Just pull in and check in at the office and tell them you'd like to see the CG. Most will have no problem some of the more secure CG's may not let you.

You just say "hi, I'm interested in staying at your campground sometime in the future, can I take a drive around"? Any that I would want to stay at will say, here's a map of the park, stop by or call if you have any questions.

Tell them just that. Why make it more difficult??? :h
