You might want to contact the National Park Service about this scam. It could be a local initiative that they know nothing about.
likely as not the phone from which the call was made is owned, or leased by FairCall or FairCall has an agreement with the owner of the phone to be the default long distance provider. seems to me I recall a way of bypassing these companies and reaching AT&T for long distance calls but it's been so long since I've used a payphone I've forgotten the process.
