This is not surprising as the state rv/camping parks are supported with state taxes. Very similar to out of state students paying more to go to a state college in a state other than their home state. I don’t believe this rate hike has anything to do with private rv parks but I bet they will follow suit if they feel the market will bare it.

This is actually a very good idea. Florida should adopt this.

No biggie. I would love to see more big rig friendly state parks with nicer facilities. Many are already nice but most need some love. Happy to contribute my share.

Actually Florida’s parks provide a FL Resident discount in many parks.

Ya, but try getting a weekend reservation in February. Hard to enjoy the state parks when you can't even get in.

I haven't seen a resident discount.

Guess they are "get all you can, while you can" camp.

Reminds me of the signs that used (or purportedly were) to be in OR. "Thanks for visiting. Now go home."
