SEKI Campground Fee Proposal

Grab your bear can or camp chair, kick your feet up and chew the fat about anything Sierra Nevada related that doesn't quite fit in any of the other forums. Within reason, (and the HST rules and guidelines) this is also an anything goes forum. Tell stories, discuss wilderness issues, music, or whatever else the High Sierra stirs up in your mind.

SEKI Campground Fee Proposal

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

I don't mind these fee increases--but then again, as a senior, I pay half-rate.

But i do wish that they would come up with a way to penalize those who reserve campsites and then never occupy them. Why not a reservation fee of an extra $100, to be refunded when you take possession of your campsite? Or an additional fee if you don't occupy your campsite---to be applied to the NEXT time you try to stay in a National Park...

My complaint would be the same as Balzaccom's. There's so much unused space and so many folks that want to use it.

I was pleasantly surprised that the proposed fee increases actually are “in line with similar campgrounds in the area.” When Yosemite and Point Reyes used the same language to rationalize their proposed fee increases, it was not true. These proposed SEKI fees are the same as those in the Hume Lake Ranger District campgrounds.
