Second Vehicle Fees?

Our policy is one RV and one personal vehicle per site. Motorcycles are OK(reasonable number, determined by management) unless there is a motorcycle trailer AND a personal auto. It isn't about the revenue, it's about discouraging people from bring a fleet of cars and clogging up the roads.

As usual, the few spoil it for the many in life, living, and recreation. Michigan has over 100 state parks with CG's not even including the huge number of state park/DNR recreational vast areas with primitive camping allowed. Most are on the water and/or have miles of trails for pedal bikes, or motorcycles, or even dune buggies/quads. The state parks are very popular and have high occupancy numbers. After years of having state park users come in with 6-10+ in a motorized tow vehicle, van, converted bus, etc with a towed trailer having 2-6 off road and/or road legal motorized vehicles (motorcycles etc) and/or 2-4 vehicles while only paying for one site fee/day, something had to be done as the site crowding and tremendous noise got out of control. Some came with a CC truck or van etc with 3-6 tents and the motorcycles in the truck's bed and 1-3 other pickups with 2 motorcycles in the bed and all stayed on the one paid site. What a mess!

I agree with both of these comments. Many of our NF campsites have parking spurs that are 20-24ft long and only 10ft wide. It's amazing how a group can try to cram 6 vehicles into that space - of course, it ends up with vehicles sticking out into the road, half off the spur, or even worse, parking in other people's campsites because "well, you have extra room on your spur, so what's the problem".
