They will still be there for all to enjoy.
Maybe, maybe not. I lean towards the not.

If you could decide who controls and runs the National Parks would you continue the federal funding and management or would you prefer a corporation be able buy the parks and use the designated lands as they please?
Lots of pros and cons and it is likely a corporation could make a big bottom line if they had no government meddling in what they wanted to do with the land.
Consider big corporations ...Exxon, Big Pharma, Wal Mart ... I am certain they could use those resources and space to make a profit for a few and create more minimum wage jobs?
Are we hurting out country and being socialist to even have national parks?

I doubt if the "feds" stole anything..State at the highest level, yes. If they want or need to, they can split it out inside the state, to counties or such. When the Feds 'stole' all this land to start with, they were to give it all back, as the norm, they have not.
As for corporations, owning and running it, hell no.
Why would they do that? What would be their motivation to do such a thing?
I didn't know that he sold national parks to his loads of big corp cronies. Thanks for your salient post.There are corps with enough influence to have the feds sell them crap... The current president has loads of big corp chronies. Your point?
Ok, but the point being is that the government would not simply allow the businesses to do whatever they wanted with the land. They would most likely not even really sell the land, but lease it out for something like 99 years.

I fully support the creation of National Parks and Wilderness Areas, their maintenance and management being done by the US Forest Service.
The FS is just as bad, if not worse, than the BLM. Mismanagement, and most of the employees don't have a CLUE about the law or regulations regarding the land.
I disagree, especially out West here. In fact congress taking much of the management away from the FS has resulted in devastating fires out here as well as a whole lot of mismanagement. I spent many of my childhood summers in FS camps (second and third jobs for my parents when we were young).

the federal level is under media attention much more than state governments, and so corruption is less likely.
I am 'out west' as well. The FS is typical federal nincompoops. From knowing nothing about the mining laws, to knowing nothing about where their power actually ends...
WOW. Somebody actually believes something like that??? Amazing.
Clearly you believe that, as you posted it. I find it to be quite out of touch with reality.
And where's your evidence of that?

Corporations would ruin our parks if they owned them. Maybe we could let some resort companies manage them for us though. IDK.
I think too many places have been designated National Parks/Forests, etc., but certainly the biggies should stay in government hands.
