Banning generators in state parks is crazy. You have people who have medical conditions, that require specialized medical equipment. What happens when the power goes out and they need that equipment? Also are we going to deny these citizens access to parks that have no electrical hookups. I don’t think that is right thing to do. The simple solution to this is to do like the National Parks do. Limit the generator hours of use. Example is 2 hours in the morning and 3 hours in evening. You can also limit sections of the campgrounds where generators can not be used. This seems to work out well for the National Park Service.
