I guess our definitions of "a little" are different. 300% more doesn't fall within my definition of "a little"

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?

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.

Thanks for this helpful contribution

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

People who hold signs go on to hold many things.

Yeah, I actually agree with both those things being stupid and crazy. Seriously though, who the fuck cares about a rock that sort of looks like a dudes head? And it's everywhere!

Edit: we should be able to criticize ourselves and where we live without getting too defensive. NH has some fucked up policies and people up here, no doubt. Mass does some wacky shit sometimes, too. Maybe not quite as wacky as NH, but wacky still.

I think the majority of your neighbors in Mass disagree. Folks from Mass can't seem to get out of your state fast enough every Friday afternoon.

That's fine though, we just need a $50 toll on 93 coming into NH and we can call it even.

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.

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.

People aren't flipping out about 1 park in the deep backwoods of Maine and so you think people wouldn't be upset about the whole state of NH tripling the camping rates? Hmm ok.

I think 2x is a little bit high as well. I think an extra $5 or $10 per night would be more appropriate.

I doubt it has anything to do with how well the campgrounds are kept. Let's say New Hampshire were to triple the prices for non-residents at their state parks. Everyone in Mass would cry bloody murder about it.

Edit- downvote all you want my friends, you know it's true.

But this is tourism money. The state doesn't want tourism dollars to come in?

Taconic Mountain Ramble State Park is right near there. One of my favorite spots ever!

Not one state with Bad Santa? Y’alls X-mas is different than mine.

I tried to live in VT but couldn't find a house so I had to settle for Upside-down Vermont (New Hampshire). Literally almost everything is backwards here. (Fucking billboards, really!?)
