Parking

I was at Inspiration Point yesterday and saw this sign:
I saw a Reddit post earlier in the week mentioning that new signs were up at Vincent Gap too. Now I look at the Mt High website and see that this covers all the campgrounds plus Jackson Lake along Big Pines Hwy too! It's the same $5 per day or $30 per year as the Adventure Pass with the exception of Jackson Lake which is $10. Nothing specific on the website about what improvements or maintenance will be completed with the funds.
It's also not clear exactly where the parking pass is required, for example is this only the formal parking lot at Inspiration Point or does it also cover the area across the street? Same question for Vincent Gap.The two parking lots contain bathrooms so under the AP rules that would be an "improved" location justifying the need for a pass while across the street is just some dirt on the side of the road.

The FS website is updated at least for Appletree Campground:
