Leave your beer at home, no alcohol allowed in Minnesota State Parks. I think Oregon has the best state parks, loved the yurts as a chance to get out of the RV.
As an Oregonian I think our State Park campgrounds are huge 200-300 sites with no privacy. The National Forest campgrounds are much smaller and wilder.
Since moving to Cali a year ago, I’ve stayed at 3 beach front state parks. San Diego, Bolsa Chica, & Dockweiler. Yes they are parking lots with hook ups. I’ve gotten spots from a couple weeks to a day before. Best time to grab a spot is during the week. Weekends are usually booked months in advance.
I’m always confused when I hear State Parks are primitive and wild. In Oregon the National Forest campgrounds and small and wild, no hook-ups, and 5-50 sites. The State Park campgrounds are huge, possibly 200 or more sites, many with partial or full hook-ups. There is no privacy, you can always see your neighbors. Are other State’s Parks smaller and more primitive?
Its nearly impossible to get a camp site even months ahead.... and forget about cancelling because of foul weather, you still have an $8 fee/ night, in CA.
Good video, true for the most part, but that park in the video? Sardines in a line. That isn't pleasant at all. Go outside of California for the best ever State parks.
Indiana has very nice state parks, but very expensive! Plus you have a two night minimum on weekends and only get half your money back if you need to cancel within a week! It's absurd! They're also very loud and badly supervised.
Southern IN native ...IN does have some beautiful state parks....and as far as ALL of them are poorly supervised I'll have to disagree...why because I haven't been been to all of them .
Don't expect quiet.
awesome information

Love camping State Parks , primitive and w/water and electric , all year where's possible
I’ve been full-time for over three years. I have yet to find a state park cheaper than National Parks (at least in the east half of the country).
We love staying in Tennessee State Parks. We post our reviews on TN Camping Nerds Review channel.

Some state parks are more expensive than National Parks, especially for Seniors. 😎🚐🥾
Hello i have the annual state park pass and i wanted to know if the pass can be used for campgrounds?

From another Oregon-this is true in our State but completely different in others. The number of State park passes I possess explains my bank account😂

I only camp at free dispersed campsites. Paying money to sleep outdoors makes no sense, especially crowded campsites with no privacy.
i love this idea, may i know how you get the water for everyday use? thanks.
@@Kihei_Ukulele there are different apps that show where you can get water: iOverlander, wikicamps, campendium, QuickMap (for California).

Oregon: never, ever fires. Just accept that & if it’s snowing in Dec & it’s open-they May let ya use fire ring. Be grateful.
