If enough people write polite letters (not emails) to their state legislators it can make a different. Nothing moves a representative to action faster than fear of the next election, and the general assumption is still that each snail-mail letter represents 1000 people (the rules aren't the same for email -- it's more like 10 people per email).

We recently bought a travel trailer and have started visiting state parks again. I haven't camped in our parks for years and I'm deeply saddened by how much they've deteriorated in that time.
