It's a good news/bad news scenario. Arizona State Park officials are floating possible fee changes for 2012. The good news is for folks who use special facilities, things like ramadas, cabanas, and boat-in sites. For the rest of us, principally RVers, the bad news--and the increased number of bucks--start.
By press release, the Parks board says charges for specific uses such as booking ramadas, group day use, group camping, cabanas, and boat-in sites. Facility use fee ranges would be reduced to a minimum fee of $15 from $25. That's a nice $10 drop. On the other and, watch out campers! Ranges in fees for non-electric camping would be increased to $15-25, electric $25-50. Whoa there, pardner! I know RVers who cringe at the thought of paying $50 in an upscale RV resort.
A little more deviling comes to get there to start with. Per-person entrance fees could have an "upper limit" of $10, with the minimum of $2 a head.
Got a comment on the fee changes? You have until January 13 to bit your two-bits in electronically. After that, the Park Boards meets in February, takes the last of the comments in person, makes their big decision, and the new fee changes roll into place on April 1. To make a comment on-line by January 13, go to http://azstateparks.com/board/comments.html.
