I live below the poverty line, and the best job I've ever had was $10 per hr. I cant afford to take my self, let alone my family, camping. All my life I've had a passion and a love for the outdoors, and I treat it with the utmost respect. So the comment about poor people not wanting to go camping is dead wrong. I appreciate this blog, but was unable to get any of the links to work. If you have info on free camping in north or western N.Y.please would you drop me a line at IQ30@yahoo, or dougtat2@yahoo? Thank you.</p> I have $4 to my name. I live below the poverty line, and the best job I’ve ever had was $10 per hr. I cant afford to take my self, let alone my family, camping.

I have always found campground fees to be reasonable and well worth it. In the National Forest in Arkansas where we have camped most often there are usually lesser used campgrounds that have at least the minimum facilities that are not at all crowded. We once camped at White Rock Mountain campground in the Ozarks National Forest during peak season and there was only one other family camped on the far side of the campground. This campground had a long drive up a gravel road to get to it, but there was a great trail along the white rock bluffs. </p> I am a firm believer in every camper paying his dues.

While it costs to camp in National Park Wilderness areas, it costs nothing to plunk down on crown land. What this means for those willing travel a bit further are a myriad of opportunities for unsullied back-country experiences. What it means for those looking for a site they back their car into are garbage strewn, overused, cess pools. Restrictions, be they financial are not, result at least, in a modicum of controls.</p> Like in the US, Canada has millions of acres of public lands (crown land) that for those most part is unrestricted.

By charging user fees, and allowing the local National Park, National Forest, etc. to keep those fees, money can be allocated to uses that will benefit those who actually visit. A few years ago, Yellowstone closed one of its most popular campgrounds because it cost too much. This may seem baffling, but while Yellowstone paid all the costs of the campground, it received none of the income, all of which went to Washington. As your prior linked post indicates, Congressmen don't want to fund maintenance; they want to fund flashy new projects. To those who argue that we will price poor people out of our public lands, studies show that they don't use them much, and it's the cost of gas and gear that prevents them from doing so. So our taxes are subsidizing public land use by the middle and upper classes.</p> User fees are a good, well-studied solution to the decay of our public lands.
