The user fee for the park is collected as a vehicle entrance fee. 'Toll' doesn't fit the situation on the ground too badly. You're not paying to use the park, you're paying to drive on the park roads. Sometimes units such as state campgrounds charge a fee for use of certain facilities (swimming beaches, showers, ...), but I have been surprised at how minimal it can be. Two summers ago, a long hike that I was on took me through a state campground that had signs posted all over that certain facilities were only for the use of campground guests. I asked at the headquarters, and found that instead of paying the $28 that I'd have had to fork over if I'd arrived by car, I could pay $2 for a non-motorized day pass. I happily availed myself of the bathhouse - I surely needed to get cleaned up after a few days hiking through beaver swamp in hot weather! I wouldn't expect that 'toll' would seriously confuse any router, even after being instructed to 'avoid tolls'. They already have to be able to handle the case, say, of a destination on an island connected to the mainland only by toll bridges. They typically deal with "avoid tolls" by assessing a penalty equivalent to a certain number of minutes of travel time and considering only toll road routings that save at least that much time over toll-free routings to the same destination.
