Usage fees are a easy way to generate revenues. You have already traveled to the park and are unlikely to turn around, instead of paying the fee. Likely, most individuals have already paid Federal and State taxes to help run the Park. Fees for non-residents is a more politically tenable solution to raising fund for extra operational costs. The truth of the matter is that local and State officials overlook the contributions non-residents make to the local economy through keeping local businesses running and most likely adding to State revenues to fund parks through local sales tax collections.
Your first assumption is that the Army Corps of Engineers built all the parks, which is not true. Most state parks were established and built by the states themselves. Yes, some of the state taxes go toward the establishment and creation of these parks. State residents pay taxes to the state, non-residents don't. The State has established the parks for the recreation of their residents. Non-residents offset their not paying state taxes with the additional fee.
And while the building of the park is one cost, the on going maintenance is another cost that is partially offset by the usage fees.
