It's going to get more expensive to hit the beach, rent ice time and camp on state property in Massachusetts under proposed fee changes that also include new charges for other activities.
The Department of Conservation and Recreation hasn't raised its fees since 2008 for day-use areas such as state parks, 2007 for ice rinks and 2003 for campgrounds, according to spokesman Bill Hickey. It's holding public hearings this month on the proposed changes, which would take effect next year.
"Even with these proposed modest increases, Massachusetts will be on the lower end of the median when compared to other New England state park fees," Hickey said.
MassParks Passes, which cover parking for a year at DCR properties including beaches, would jump from $35 to $60 for residents and from $45 to $85 for nonresidents.
Nonresidents using DCR properties also face new charges that are higher than those proposed for Bay Staters. DCR cabin rentals in state forests, for example, would rise from $30 per day for a one-room cabin for all campers to $50 for residents and $55 for nonresidents.
Daily coastal campsite fees, meanwhile, would increase from $15 to $22 for residents, and from $17 to $27 for nonresidents. Electric and water hookups would double to $6 and $4 per day.
Ice rink rentals would jump between $15 and $25 in peak season, to $200 to $250 per 50 minutes.
Among the proposed new fees are $50 per day for group picnic areas, $250 to $2,000 per day for outdoor venue rentals for company events at a DCR property, and $250 per day for commercial film productions.
