Hey MEC its always been the case for the past 20yrs but with a tent and being willing to set up on the side of one of the campground roads with no fire options for the same price usually gets me in ,,, otherwise I knock on someone's door preferably where there is farmland or a big property and 50 bucks a night goes a long way in those parts
but my question is geared more towards fly fishing after ETAR.
also most campgrounds will sell a shower even if your not camped there,, otherwise its an afternoon dive into the stream..
So no excuses for not going
