Dear Governor Scott,
I have started this petition on behalf of the Florida Resident RVers. Our taxes help support the state parks, yet we cannot use them because most of the time the spots are reserved by those who live out of state. This must change. We are requesting that 40% of the RV camping spots in the Florida State Parks are reserved for Florida residents up until three weeks prior to the reservation date. After that, they would be free for anyone to reserve. This will provide us Florida residents the opportunity to enjoy the state parks we pay for.

The momentum behind this proposal demonstrates a clear consensus regarding the equitable use of our state park resources. It is encouraging to see so many Florida residents prioritize the accessibility of these public lands.

State residents should be able to use facilities that their taxes are paying for.
It is next to impossible for a Florida family to vacation in our own state parks
Our tax $$. No spots! No fair!
Agreed. FL first.
This is a great idea for those of us who live in FL and would love to see and travel our beautiful state.

State Park camping for residents first and foremost!

There are also companies that book up sites with banks of fast computers and resell them at greater cost to the more popular parks. Totally wrong!
