I am all for concessions but please can they keep the place tidy. They often leave their trailers or huts rusting away and looking so bad. In some locations the concessions are open only during peak summer months and then the rest of the year they are abandoned. These are national parks, perhaps they can be removed when not in season?
Shelly Bay beach house, yes please!
