    California “Pay to Use (Automated) Dump Stations”

    Just read an article that California has established “pay to dump” sites at a number of their state parks. $10-$20 fee (tax) to utilize the dump station at ten of their parks. Personally not surprised, but really do not like the trend it may start. Any other opinions?

    That's California for you and unfortunately it will spread to other states. Is that just to use the dump station? Wait, most state parks don't have sewer at the site so that really sucks! I'm not for it!

    Not unexpected for California. They are in the midst of a king size money grab. I won't be contributing to their economy.
    Texas State Parks are as bad. They charge $24-26 per night for a campsite, plus $4-5 per person, per night for an entrance fee. If you were born before Sept 30, 1930 you qualify for a Senior pass. What a deal, right?
    I don't use their parks either.

    COE parks are the best bargain going, especially if you hold a National Park Senior Pass. Half price campgrounds are tough to beat.

    Would that be considered hidden fees? [emoji854]
    I hope that this won't encourage some yahoo's to dump where they are not suppose to though.

    They have you coming and going. Make you pay to get rid of your waste then they charge you for drinking it when they pipe it back to you through the pipes to your faucets.
