Reply to comment by Figwit_ in Question- Why does Mass charge out of staters 3x the price to camp at Mass state parks? I understand slightly higher rates, but 3x? Come on. by Figwit_
so, MA use to have 'camp hosts'. Someone would camp for free and in return they would be responsible for cleaning the nearby bathroom everyday. It means some bathrooms were cleaner than others, but it worked and someone camped for free.
During covid they stopped using hosts. Things went shitballs for 2 years. for one, available campsites got cut in half, and for two they hired outside cleaners to clean all the bathrooms.
Since then, while all the sites have opened back up, they havent gone back to using host campers. they are continuing to have cleaners clean the facilities.
As far as I'm aware the other states are still using host campers.
