What exactly is wrong with this besides "muh consumerist culture?"
Because many of us want an escape from the numbing commercialism that defines almost every aspect of mass life in America! That's one of the reasons to go to a national park or a state park (and some related areas).
People go camping to take part in nature in the day and get drunk by a fire at night. That isn't going to change under private ownership.
I expect to see Budweiser and Coca-Cola cans, meat wrappers that say "Eckrich" or "Oscar Meyer", and legible clothing at such a site. If I can't get enough of Disney characters, then I might just go to Di$neyland... where there are no campfires that could burn the fake tail feathers of someone dressed up as Donald Duck.
Like seriously what do you guys fear so much? That they'll tear down the trees and build a water park?
There's a "Jellystone Park", complete with water-slide, near where I live. It has Hanna-Barbera characters (including "Yogi Bear") But it is near the meeting of two Interstates in a rural area where people have only one connection to nature: the harsh Dfa climate of the Corn Belt which has sultry summers and brutal winters. It could be a fun place to go, but comparing it to camping in such a place as Isle Royale National Park or Great Smoky Mountains National Park (which are similarly far away) is very dissimilar.
Farming is unnatural, even if it is necessary. (Oh, is it necessary. Ask yourself whether your electronic gadgets or food is more important to you. So long as you have food, you might buy some electronic gadget. But lose food security and you might abandon your electronic gadgets.
"Jellystone Park" might offer more fun than one of the chain motels near the Interstate interchange, but it is no more camping in nature than dining at Bob Evans is an elite experience., even if Bob Evans has more atmosphere than Burger King.
