Our state parks here in Louisiana had price increases of $2 per night that went into effect on July 1st. We frequently make weekend trips to one that is within 20 minutes of our house. What used to be a $20/night stay is now a $22/night stay. There are also what they deem as 'premium' sites that went from $26/night to $28/night. They consider premium sites as those along the water front of a lake (none at our local state park).
I still do not find these prices bad. That's during the regular season. During the off season the prices drop for both regular and premium sites. I was disappointed to hear of the increase but made up my mind right away that it was a necessary evil. I would rather a reasonable price increase than the state shutting it's gate at one or more of it's parks.
