Show Campground Fee Rates Released Here by NPS National Park Service officials this week announced an-nounced that fees at Park Service campgrounds will begin Saturday, April 14. Affected by the fee schedule are the Devils Garden Campground Camp-ground in Arches Na -tional Park and Squaw Flat Campground in the Needles District of Can-yorilands. Can-yorilands. The Class A campground camp-ground in Arches carries car-ries a $3 a night fee and Class B campground at Squaw Flat carries a $2 a night fee. The disparity dis-parity in fees reflects a difference in campground camp-ground facilities with Arches having a more modern campground. Park entrance fees will not be collected at this time, but will be collected at Arches at a later date. The fees for camping this year are $1 higher at both campgrounds nearby so that they do not compete unduly with commercial facilities. The fees for this year were arrived at after a survey of fees currently being charged at commercial com-mercial parks in this area. Monies generated by campground fees do not remain in the park, but go into the Land and Water Conservation Fund. Monies from this fund are then apportion-. apportion-. ed to the states and federal fed-eral agencies for the purchase and development develop-ment of new outdoor rec-reation rec-reation facilities. |
