Like everything else, the price of campsites have risen over the past several years. Recently, I stayed at the Route 66 RV Resort in Albuquerque and was charged $62 for a night's stay.
While that may seem high to some, it is still much cheaper than a hotel room these days. Hotel rooms are averaging over $150 to $200 per night from what I've been seeing.
RV Travel has a poll article on what would you define an "affordable" campsite for a one night stay?
It begins with:
Everyone has a different definition of “affordable” and, of course, that depends on many things. What’s affordable to you may not be affordable to someone else and vice versa. Affordable also means different things in campground terms.
Membership programs like Harvest Hosts and The Dyrt may seem affordable when you break it all down, but maybe it’s too much of an up-front cost. Maybe an RV resort with a bunch of amenities for the grandkids seems “affordable” for all that it offers.
Some RVers are perfectly content with a quiet boondocking spot off a forest road, where the cost is zero but the rewards are priceless. Others are looking for electric hookups, hot showers, and a level parking pad—things that often push the price up.
