Interesting discussion and question:
Our experience.
Oregon State Park: Ft. Stevens. $30 per night summer rate.
KOA: literally right across the street $60+ per night.
Both full hook-ups. Both similar sites except most state park sites are roomier.
Note: State Parks are also subsidized by tax payer and I think in Oregon by lottery revenue.
Why can the KOA get the price? Dah the state park is full - camped there many times
oregon state parks don't rely on any general fund revenue. It's funded through user fees, rv registration fees, lottery etc. but not general fund.
that's not the case in all/most states, where general funds go to state parks, which has caused funding issues in the past. Washington is an example where cuts in general fund really put a crimp on parks.
Here is info directly from Oregon state parks
Oregon parks are funded through user fees, RV registration fees and lottery profits. About 40 percent of their total budget stems from user fees. Registration fees and lottery proceeds each account for about 30 percent of the budget.
