Do you know how hard it is for New Hampshire residents to find campsites out our popular state parks in the mountains? They're always filled with people from MA. And yet we don't charge you 3X what it costs us.

If we charged what you charge for state parks, we'd be able to have in-ground pools with waterslides at every campsite.

bro you live in new hampshire. damn near the whole state is free camping as long as youre 200 feet from the road/trail and 800(?) feet from water. why the fuck are you getting so bent out of shape when you literally have a protected right to camp literally amlost anywhere in one of the most beautiful landscapes on the planet and you want to come bum it up in Massachusetts?
