Mo State Park Survey.

[jdmidwest]

The State Parks are run by MO DNR, not MDC....I wouldnt be in favor of raising fees.

Their campgrounds are packed in the warm months and the fees are pretty high for what you get...Think it was around $45 bucks for the weekend when we took the pop-up down to Montauk on Turkey day weekend.

Exactly. It was $12 a night to pitch a tent last year, probably higher this year. Plus the additional fee if you reserve ahead of time. Of course, there are only about 10 first come, first serve primitive sites, so you really need to reserve for a weekend of camping. I have been going up on Sunday and camping that night, so the pressure is not that great. You can camp outside of the park at a Privately run venue for the same $7 or $8 bucks a night per tent. Now add the extra buck to the daily tag for the park to use their parking lots? To spend money at the Park store, sit on a park bench we have already paid for? Come on.
