And sure, most of the NP's that I've backpacked in charge a per-day price for the BC permits, and I do believe that $8 does apply to the BC sites, I just don't remember for sure, even though I was just there. The "car camping" site at Pine springs is more like $20/night, though with a NP pass, that reduces it by half. I just paid $34 for a two-nighter in the Grand Canyon, which kind of surprised me, I think that one has gone up.
