What you expect to pay the same for a park as the owner pays? I mean I pay for Michigan State Parks every paycheck (With my taxes) you do not you pay for some other state's parks, and guess what.. odds are real good if I stay at one of those parks I pay more.. That is just how it works. I might add it is fair. I don't have a problem with it. One campground I stay at from time to time I pay 33.33333333333333% more than the residents.
Actually you would pay the same as I would in NC. NC has no entrance or parking fees for its state parks. I make reservations online and show up at the park to check in. Basically stop at the boot if after 4pm and tell them my name and site number. They ask if I know how to get to it and I tell them yes. They check my name off and off I go to the site. No vehicle pass or anything. Site with water and electric is $25/night. That includes the reservation fee con extra fee for a toad. No extra fee for a dog.
