Most campgrounds, you pay for a site...basic site (no hookups) is one price usually for tents...then a water/electric site...finally a full hookup site that has everything a casmpground has to offer, water/elec./sewer/cable/etc You could put a tent on a full hookup site....you will pay that rate even if you don't use the sewer & cable. You can put a van/rv/motorhome on any of the sites....you just pay that rate for the site....sometimes there is an option of 30 amp service or 50 amp service...there also are premium sites (close to water or additional picnic tables, shelter and firepit...but most state.national parks are very basic...usually water/electric with a dump station or a tent site with no electric...varies as you have to call to get information on each campground....Yellowstone NP has like 6 campgrounds and they are not the same...you need to call and get what is charged for what.
