Campground Amenities vs lower prices
Spin off from price thread. Which do you prefer? Lower cg rates with just basic FHU and clean bath houses? Or are you willing to pay higher rates for amenities (and the accompanying insurance...

A golden example is that so many CG's will have elec only sites or water and elec or FHU or even dry sites and the rate structure also differentiates accordingly. Those are basic amenities and gives the RV'er some true options. Some have cable or a pseudo cable system and few even have reasonably decent WIFI while the bulk have poor to very spotty to none is various areas of the same CG but yet all pay the same for what they don't even get. Frilly dilly amenities are just that and as you'd stated yourself, all are paid for by everyone renting a site by having a standard rate structure which means they are subsidized by everyone while only a few can use/do use/or even want them but still are forced to be paying for them. How is that remotely fair. Must be in your eyes but we and many others see very differently!
Should all homes and properties by taxed the same amount regardless of what they are or have in a community? ONE size fits all is wrong and can't be defended??? How ridiculous is that line of thinking? Just as ridiculous as charging a same rate for every RV site whether frilly dilly's are wanted or not. That's a factor as to why many CG's/resorts/etc go belly up as smart people avoid them which means eventual failure.
Hint: My/our money you will never get as I/we avoid paying for something I neither want or will use and is overpriced and lack of money is far from an issue with us. We're smart enough to use our money wisely and that's why we still have plenty but are far from cheap or ever seek something for nothing. I can't speak for others but I sure can for us!
Most KOA's, BTW, have very high basic rates and then they pile on the charges from there and NO, our families CG's do not and never have operatred that way.
