I just paid $18 at Sand Hollow State Park and $15 at Quail Creek near Hurricane, Utah. Those prices seem high. A motel in St. George would have been only $23, so a little gravel for parking to camp seems like it should be inexpensive compared to rooms and a shower and air-conditioning, with parking on concrete in the city where land costs much more.
I always thought of camping as something you could do if you were living economically, but I bought a house for lower payments than camping.
The free fishing makes sense to me, but I was on vacation and needed to stay somewhere and all other places to fish have signs that say day use only and no overnight parking and no camping and they tell me that is enforced by police with criminal charges.
Is that just to create a flow of money to the parks?
Are there camping alternatives without the overpriced fees?
These are general questions not to be limited to Pineview.
