Anyone visiting Saskatchewan and planning to camp in a provincial park will pay more for a spot this summer.

Early this March Saskatchewan's government implemented the increased fees, saying the move would generate close to $200,000 a year.

Campers like Rory Crawford, who lives in Medicine Hat, Alta., but frequently camps in some of Saskatchewan's 39 parks, are steaming over the price hike. Crawford will now pay between $4 and $6 more per night to stay at a campsite, something he says isn't fair.

"If they want to raise the cost for everybody, that's fine. But just don't start picking on out-of-province people," Crawford said.

He said while he would continue coming to Saskatchewan, there are others who won't.

"I've heard people saying that they're going to stay more in Alberta," said Crawford.

A government spokesperson told CBC News that Saskatchewan residents shouldn't have to pay the same fees as visitors because their taxes pay for the parks.

But that logic doesn't make sense to Crawford.

"We have lots of beautiful campgrounds in Alberta. We don't discriminate against anybody because they're from B.C. or Saskatchewan," he said.

"We all live in Canada. We're all the same. So, there shouldn't be any difference between province to province."
