The State Parks cater to out of state customers that plan their vacation a year in advance. Ever try to get a camp site at the coast a couple of weeks before you go. The online reservation system does not allow for last minute local campers to go out and enjoy a unexpected nice weekend?

Also the multiple passes is expensive and confusing. In order to enjoy the outdoors, you need 7 different passes to go to all the places nearby. Forest pass, sauvie Island pass, state park pass, snow park pass, oregon dune pass.... the list goes on and on.
