Idaho State Parks to raise rates for non-residents at selected parks


Recommended Posts

Wealthy out-of-staters will own those parks.
First come, first serve systems often eliminates many long term planners.

Wanna' drive a 40' rig with toad on the off chance you might get a spot?
Probably not so much.

(Of course with enough money, one would reserve a backup site and not care.)

I don't see how the recent decision the double the out-of-state rates would result in this. 

These parks were completely reserved out for the summer prior to this change. They will still be reserved out, but likely with a higher percentage of Idaho residents than before. The perceived problem was that Idaho state residents were having trouble getting into their own state parks, due to large numbers of Canadians and Washington residents reserving sites as soon as the reservation system opened. This is an attempt to change that. Time will tell regarding the impact.
