Post your state park shots - any state, any season, phone shots welcome. Name the park and state (house rule anyway) - it turns a good photo into somebody's next trip.

Been somewhere nobody's heard of? Those are the best ones here.

Hypothetically what if someone was unable to renew their registration on time, but already booked a state park campsite.

Is there a way to get into a state park and pay for a day pass without current plates? I am willing to pay for a day pass but just need another week to get my full registration.

I'm just worried I'll show up to the campground (at a Michigan state park) and be turned away because of my plates. How likely is this? Any state park workers on here? Or someone that has had this experience?

Maquoketa Caves State Park in March?

3 Upvotes

Hey,

I was just looking up the Maquoketa Caves State Park and I saw that their camping opens starting March 1st, but the caves are closed all through March.

So I was wondering, is the park (& potentially camping there) even worth visiting in early March or should I skip it?

Thanks in advance☺️

Keep airplane ads away from California state beaches!

Our city local club in sandiego tends to fly overhead advertising…. I’m a disabled veteran in San Diego, and I use California state beaches to decompress and clear my head. I started a petition asking California to restrict commercial aerial advertising over state beaches.
If you agree, I’d appreciate a signature
