San Diego County Park Fees Rise Again
02:08|San Diego County to Raise Recreational Activity Fees: A Comprehensive Overview San Diego County is set to increase fees for various recreational activities and facilities for the second time in a year, starting January 2nd. The new rates will apply to camping, parking, fishing permits, and picnic area bookings. For instance, a full hookup campsite will cost $42 per night, up from $40, and reserving a picnic area will jump by $25. These adjustments are part of a two-year fee plan, with the first phase implemented last February. The county emphasizes that these increases are necessary to keep pace with rising operational costs and that San Diego County parks still offer good value compared to similar park systems. Reservations booked before January 2nd will be charged at the current rates, but any fees not paid at the time of booking will be subject to the new rates after January 2nd. Day-use parking at facilities that charge a fee will remain $5 in the new year. Nonprofits will continue to receive a 25% discount on facility rentals, and discount programs for veterans, seniors, and groups will remain in place, along with program scholarships and the free First Time Camping Program.
