One thing I've seen batted around for fee increases is the loss of the seniors discount. I have no issue paying full price if that happens - but would feel like the price-rise would be humped on just the seniors who probably pay more camping fees annually than the general public in the bigger picture.
Seniors have more time, and camp more often ... so even at half-price in the less popular seasons, and during the week when CG's have many open sites, we pick up that slack. To raise fees only on seniors - and in a way that happens if the discount disappears - then it all falls on ONE group. Which means an average rise of $9 per night in NPS campgrounds. Instead, raise fees for every camper only a buck or two. That way, everyone pays a little, and the seniors still get a break ... we've been paying all our lives in taxes and fees, so a little help after we retire allows us to spend more time in the parks, and spend more bucks as well while we do it.
