Reply to comment by Figwit_ in Question- Why does Mass charge out of staters 3x the price to camp at Mass state parks? I understand slightly higher rates, but 3x? Come on. by Figwit_

Part of our fee as MA residents is paid by our taxes. Ypu dont pay MA taxes, so you should pay more. I would expect to pay more if I went to a campground out of state.

As would I. I'm not upset about paying more per se. I'm upset that Mass charges about 3X more for out of state residents. I think it's a little bit crazy that so many MA residents enjoy the state park systems of other nearby states but then turn around and charge crazy prices for others to go there.

What specifically am I generalizing about? I'm saying it's kind of a bummer for MA to charge more to out of staters while people from MA enjoy the relatively low prices in the states that surround MA.

Am I wrong? So you're saying that all those thousands of MA residents that come up here to camp would be perfectly fine with paying 3X what they're currently paying to camp at state parks in NH?
