Hello Everyone
My previous tent camping adventures do not include much experience with staying in State Parks. So here is my question.
If you are signed up to stay at a SP campground for say, 3 nights, and you paid the park entrance fee (24 hour access) to get in, are you charged the entrance fee again if you leave the park the next day (to run errands, get gas, go explore etc.) and then return that same day back to your campsite (past the 24 hour access time)?
In other words, is the vehicle entrance fee for admission to the park (which are daily fees) charged for each day you may go out and back in, even though you are camped in the SP?
This may vary by state, but in all my months of reading and dreaming, I have not found any information concerning how going in and out of a SP you are camped at is handled. I'm not worried about the Feds, because I have a geezerette pass.
I also am aware of Annual State Park passes that discount the entrance fee, but info about these do not address the question of going in and out either.
Thanks for any insight -- whether one particular Western state, or just in general.
