Thanks for the post, j10asen. Hope to hear more from you.

I should preface all my remarks with the fact that I started camping as a young boy. My parents camped exclusively in the State the of Wisconsin and for the most part at "Private Campgrounds". As an adult I have a preference to State,county and federal campgrounds. I have never had a good experience at a ""Private Campgrounds" as an adult.
Signs like "sorry cleaning the bathroom, come back in five minutes" turns me off. How can you possibly clean a bathroom in "FIVE MINUTES"?
I quoted the part of your response I agree with the most. Imagine what it would be like to to have a private group control who gets to enjoy the State's Natural resources?
That in a nut shell is what makes it a challange for private campgrounds to compete with State Campgrounds. I also challange you to find a State Park that will NOT put you in AWE, they all have their NATURAL BEAUTY no one else can duplicate.
I have posted this same message in other boards and have gotten even less of a response than here. This alone to me indicates the apathy for it all. I also am no brave soul and will not march ina parade of one. There are many reasons for the need to have electricty and I will not elaborate here, I am letting this subject go.
I love this State,The State Parks and the convenience of their proximity.
When I was younger, I would use the phrase'I'll never yaydadada again". Now that I am older I avoid that phrase like the plauge. Next year I may plan vacations more in advance than this year and I will use Wisconsin State Parks again but for 2007 like I have in 2004,2005 and 2006 I will go to the U.P. where it is much easier to get an electric site for a week. Guess where all my vacation dollars go then?
Thank you for have this forum and allowing people their say on any given topic,regradless of your stance it is a nice to have that FREEDOM.
Oh yes and I did contact a particular campground orginazation to get their take on this issue but they refused to reply with an email and requested I call them. When I did the secretatry took a message but no call was ever returned. That was over a week ago.
end of story
