haggling on camping prices

Hi,

Anyone haggling over the price of a camping site? If you do, what do you say to the owner/manager of the facility?

  • I haggle every chance I think it could work (on everything). But when I use Reserve America......forget it.
  • YEP........

    I ask for a discount at check in.
    Don't belong to any 'clubs' (AARP, GS, etc.)

    Sometimes I get a discount (10%) just for asking.

    I get 'discounts' where I fuel up, will ask grocery clerk for discount (lots of grocery stores have club cards and clerk will run theirs) and always ask "is this the best pricing you can do" at pharmacy (big pricing range).

    YEP...I ASK!
    And WHY not.......might just get it.
  • Do you haggle for better prices at the grocery store? At Walmart? At the gas station? At the pharmacy?

  • I've asked for affiliated discounts, such as AAA, Good Sams & such. But here in Southern New England,there isn't a lot of options and price movement.
