The Collier County Commissioners are considering approving a resolution urging the National Park Service at the Big Cypress National Preserve Midway campground on SR 41 to "utilize standard operational and management techniques to ensure fair and balanced competition"  The issue is that the Big Cypress National Preserve Midway campground rates are very reasonable, $19/night and "big rigs" are using this campground.  Imagine that! The Outdoor Resorts of Chokoloskee owner is claiming that the National Park Service is taking his business away from his resort by charging less than he does.  The owner of the Outdoor Resorts, Kenny Brown, is seeking assistance from the Collier County Commissioners to pressure the National Park Service to raise their rates.  I believe the motor coach owners should voice their opinion to the Collier County Commissioners on this matter.  Most of us with "big rigs" enjoy a State or National park reasonably priced and do not believe their rates should increase.  I am providing you with a forum by which you may voice your opinion.  This information will be emailed directly to all the Collier County Commissioners.  If you want to read the article, click here.
