Honor box? Juventas 04:02, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Many state and county parks around here have a small box at the front of the park where you are expected to drop a day use payment in an envelope. There are sometimes checks for proof, but I have never had that happen, though I still always pay when I see one. --aperfectring 04:09, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Payment for entering the park? That sounds sacrilegious to me. I have since learned that Canada's 42 national parks also have an entry fee, but British Columbia's 700-something provincial parks do not. The 340 with campgrounds charge a fee for staying overnight, and from experience I know many rely on an honour system. The strangest thing is that they say a nightly fee of $5 is due when camping in the park's backcountry (nowhere near a campground). In the case of parks without campgrounds, or when entering from a direction without campgrounds, I don't know how you could pay even if you wanted to. Juventas 07:02, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
