Maybe if you live dead between them? but for me its over 500 mile round trip to blkmt. Haspin is about 90 ,gas to drive there and back alone in $150 or more (just round trip)
just basic math.
lets don't get silly here . blkmt is great. but lets don't say it cost the same as haspin for a weekend if you live around cincy. its like 5 times the cost if you add up everything
the cost to wheel there if fine, good deal... just in no way comparable to wheeling at haspin... just basic math

In the same truck pulling the same trailer, with the same buggy on it, I used 3/4 of a tank of fuel getting to haspin and back home, and used just over a tank and a half going to Harlan and back.
At Haspin you pay for 2 people to stay for 3 days, at Harlan if you already have the vehicle pass its free.
So the price to get in and stay at haspin offsets the extra fuel needed for Harlan.

well in your case it must somehow work out that its only twice the fuel from your location to Harlan than haspin. in my case its 435 mile more driving from Ross.. and I don't have an extra person to pay for most of the time. so the 35 or 45 for a 3day run at haspin is only a 5 or 10 buck difference in park fees. but don't forget camping at haspin is included , Harlan charges to camp so if you add that fee back in you are not saving , it adds what $45. bucks ? still that's quite a bit more , in your case to only double the fuel cost /use that's interesting for sure. in my calculations rated at 12 mpg to simply double my fuel cost /use would indicate harlen was only 180 mile for me to drive ...as a trip to haspin and back is half a tank,(90) to harlen and back is 2.8 tanks at best (525) . with 16 gal tank .so due to my apparent odd location you do have an advantage somehow. so in your case I stand corrected :confused:

I'm not trying to argue, I like haspin better than most people on this site, just putting in my 2 pennys.
