1-3) It all depends on the "Turn Away Rules."

If the public agency in charge of the area can turn me away due to a full site I will look at alternate areas. Oregon and Nevada state parks are no turn away. Washington can turn you away. If I show up after 12 hours on the road fighting wind, sun and cars I don't want to be at the mercy of the gatekeeper. +1State Park outside Tuscon for letting me free camp.


4) For a publicly funded site I expect more than a poo place and cold water at $20 for a single person. Non- public stites I pay what is charged without issue though 1/3 of the time the folks running the place will discount a single bicycle.
