The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission is considering increasing fees for camping and mooring boats at state parks. The proposed increases aim to catch up with inflation and generate more revenue for the parks. Camping fees, which are the second largest source of income for the parks, could increase by up to $6 per night.
Camping and mooring boats at Washington State Parks may be a little more expensive next year. The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission is considering increasing fees to book sites, according to the Washington State Standard.The proposed increases will supposedly help the agency catch up with inflation over the last few years. Prices for camping were last updated in 2020 and for mooring in 2015.
But rates for staying overnight in State Parks haven’t been adjusted in the last four years, despite rising costs. For boats, the daily moorage minimum fee is $15. That could increase to $23 minimum under the new proposal. A yearly minimum could jump from $60 to $80. Commissioners said these are still significantly lower than the mooring fees at private facilities across the state. The camping price adjustment would likely bring in another $3.
