I wouldn't mind paying a small fee to use them, like said above, lots of other parks do the same. I am totally against them being privatized though. I'm also leery of having a consessionaire lease them, it works in some places, not so good in others. if a lease situation occurs, I think very tight regulations over how they are run would have to be implemented. our state parks are awesome, I think they actually won some type of award a few years back. we need to keep them that way.
when I'm camping in a state park, I like that a forest ranger, someone with a passion and interest in the outdoors, is there to talk to and answer questions. if privatization occurs, we might end up with flunkies from the carnival simply taking our money.
