best southwest us destinations



The National Park Service (NPS) is considering the possibility of charging visitors for overnight camping, but was not sure whether it would be possible to implement this fee program. Luis A. Gastellum emailed George B. Hartzog Jr. in concern about the proposed fee system on Sept 26, 1969. He urged the agency not to abandon the idea in his letter. The debate ended in March 1970 when Congress issued a directive to implement fees.

Private campgrounds can't be subsidized with tax dollars like federal parks and must charge visitors fees. But, it is necessary as it covers visitors' costs. Many campgrounds agree that visitors should pay for the services they receive. Be prepared to pay more for overnight accommodation if you are visiting a popular campground. In some cases, you can negotiate a lower rate, but be prepared to pay more than you would otherwise.

This option is great if you're willing sacrifice some amenities. This could even help you save money on amenities.

A camping pitch is for two people and includes a car as well as a unit. While an awning is not included in the price, some campsites do charge for it. For example, Glimmerglass has sites for six adults and nine children, while site #165 charges a couple of adults and five children. To avoid additional fees or charges, a cabin usually costs more. However, you should check with the campground before booking.
