Disabled Rates at Campgrounds
I've been reading the good thread re Disabled Parking Permits & thought i'd ask a similar question. In a Government owned Campground (not private), should sites be offered at a discount for disabled...

Many state parks and federal facilities offer a disabled discount.
It would be interesting to know WHY they do so.
For what purpose are these discounts offered?
Is it just pity? As another poster has offered?
What other reason COULD there be?
Surely no one buys the "they don't use the facilities" argument, since most expenses attached to running campgrounds have to do with infrastructure supplied to/for the sites themselves.
And for folks willing to do without those facilities, I'd point out that there's already a discount in place for that purpose in most Public Campgrounds. It's called "drycamping", and generally costs around half of a full hookups site.
Maybe they want to encourage camping by the disabled?
Your reason of pity being the ONLY one is ludicrous.
There has to be others.
