Where does the money for camping fees go?
The majority of your fees go to operating expenses for the area, maintenance, equipment, safety patrols, etc. A large portion also goes to the government in fees. Because of efficiencies in private vs. government operation, these fees paid are typically higher than what the government was making running the facility on it’s own. By law, the fees paid to the government stay in the local forest and are used to improvement and new construction.
