    Probably will not.
    Even small fees keep the morons out.

    Not even referring to hicks with ATVs, more like the 50 person groups of, um, well you know, that leave gigantic fucking messes.

    Having a PST and fees up the wazoo is typical in other provinces. We don't even have a land transfer tax.

    Only things that rub me the wrong way on fee:
    - tied to plate rather than household w/ multiple plate allowance
    - not tied to Banff pass, would happily pay for both if the linked to the same system and offered a discount buying both (but it’s 2 levels of government, it’s asking too much of their abilities)

    I’d be happy to see the number of people going to the parks drop a bit

    I’m okay with this. It’ll keep the rabble out.
    Or the rabble will leave even more trash because now they're paying for it.

    So the day pass is one plate only, year pass is two plates.

    Better not have to waste one of mine on my trailer when I register my truck

    If you want to bring a trailer in a park that should be an extra supplementary fee.

    A really really big extra supplementary fee.

    Why? I’m already paying for a dedicated parking spot in the campground for it? Or paying for a crown land camping permit.

    If anything, there should be an exemption for having your destination as a camp site since you’re going to be off the roads, not in a parking lot and in a location where a fee is already charged and vehicles already considered

    Basically paying to drive from the boundary to McLean campground or Gooseberry

    Maybe a fee per night for the trailer parking locations. They could separate those from normal day-use parking as well.

    Somehow I feel like your theory of “people with trailers keeps traffic off the roads” doesn’t hold water.

    We have way more demand for people trailer camping than we have locations or facilities to accommodate them, to me that sounds like we need to charge more.

    Where did you see this?

    nvm was posted in the other thread - https://www.alberta.ca/kananaskis-co...tion-pass.aspx

    that works for me then.

    might free up some camping spots if some folk don't want to pay for the pass?

    Seems like camping is expensive enough without paying a buncha extra $5's. But whatever. I'm cheap.

    to get a long weekend though, worth the extra $5, or an extra $12

    I love camping and I don't mind laying the fees, I jist hate the idea that I need to become any kind of scammer to do it. That would reduce my enjoyment.

    If I follow my plan of taking a year or two off camping I'll see how much I like that.

    I might take next summer "off" camping too. For my wife's mental sake I can't do it this year, but after a proper Hawaii vacation, she should be ok with skipping next summer.
