Depends on how much is charged per kWh and how much you run electric heat or AC (which depends on how hot or cold it may be where you stay).

We just spent a month on the Gulf coast in the Florida panhandle (near Carrabelle) and electricity cost us about $60 for the month at $0.14 per kWh. We ran an electric resistance heater a moderate amount. We checked out some other parks nearby and the rates were $0.11 per kWh at one and a flat $50 per month at another.
