.........camping on-site at the amusement park has some benefits that may not be immediately obvious. Cooking your own food for lunch and dinner (and not paying park prices for food) can save a decent bit of money, partly offsetting the pricy campground rates. Besides that, having a home base available to change, to take a siesta, to leave the camera in rather than carrying it around all the time, etc. is very convenient, as is not having to worry about battling traffic when leaving at night. You can also factor in not having to pay for parking if you'd be driving from another campground to the park.
Lighthouse Point was $77 per night back in 2006, so I'm not surprised one bit that they are over $100. I agree with all of the above, and as others have said you get the benefit of early admission to the park. Just be aware that not all rides are operational in that first hour. Would I do it again? You bet.
