Why parks and not campgrounds? Do the parks offer utilities etc? The only ones we have stayed at are basically dry camping, which wouldn't work for us.
What benefits do you see for state parks versus other campgrounds?
We always ask if the park has full hookups. 30 amp is tolerable, but no sewer is a deal breaker for us. As for benefits of a park over a commercial campground: We retired so we do not have to work for someone else that will have a bottom line mentality. We never work for dollars and the experience that we've had with true volunteer workamping positions is the flexibility of the scheduling and the awesome places we get to visit. We don't ever want to come close to punching a time clock again and then there is always the tax consequences of working for dollars. Just not for us.
