A shout out to AZ state parks
I saw the post about dissatisfaction with the KY SP's and thought I should post a good experience we had last summer with the AZ parks.
We had reservations for Fool Hollow Lake near Show Low in late June. Unfortunately, a forest fire began in that area a week before we were to arrive. Now the campground was never evacuated or closed, but there was smoke in the area. AZ state parks did put notification on their website about the smoke in the area and offered to cancel reservations without a penalty.
Well not only was there not a cancellation fee, but they also refunded our initial reservation fee! Maybe that's standard in some places, but it seems that cost is just something that isn't usually refunded.
Anyway, I was really impressed.
We ended up spending those few extra days more at Flagstaff and got to know that area much better.
