Yikes! Every proposed fee is almost double what the existing fee is! Anyone here making almost double what they were making last year? I hate to see our national parks held hostage like that.

It's a bummer. Still most of the campgrounds are pit toilets. No water. No electricity. Nice and simple. Fees don't need to be increased. Hiking and rock climbing doesn't require much either from the park.
