KOA standard charge now $60?!
Got hit with a $65/night charge at Devils Tower KOA and the same at Bozeman KOA(walked out) and I see St Mary's KOA is now $60. No more KOA for us

Most KOA's are franchises, so there is no standard charge. As stated by several other posters they are often at or near the top of the price point for the area they are in. Comparing any commercial campground/RV park to a state or other public facility is not just a simple matter of price as the amenities are often very different. We like state parks and have stated at quite a few in a number of different states. In my experience, I have encountered many state parks that have few if any full hookup sites. Water spigots may or may not be at every site even when there is electric. Rates have gone up at the public campgrounds also and some states now require a separate vehicle pass in addition to the camping fee which can be a surprise at checkin. Something I consider as part of the cost of an overnight is how far out of the way I have to go to get to the campground. Every 10 miles adds the cost of a gallon of fuel to the cost of the night's stay.
