State and the federal government need to get out of the campground business and stop competing with private industry. It's not fair that my tax dollars go to subsidizing someone else's cheap vacation at a state campground. Lower our taxes and charge realistic user fees instead.
I can't say I agree with your thoughts on the role and point of government land.
To my way of thinking it was purchased to help future generations understand the truer past of the off continent and aboriginal pioneers and keep the land from becoming a cash cow for any generation that thinks its all about immediate needs.
Greenbacks (mostly) were paid for this land in the name of the people soo we should be able to use and conserve it.
Government owned campgrounds existed before private ones and each serve a market with some overlapping.
I prefer government owned campsites over private versions but am happy that both types exist giving us choices.
