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

Just come to Florida during the winter and you will be proven oh so wrong with that statement!
Shocked doesn't even come close to what I was when I saw what they were charging for a sardine site in nothing more than huge open piece of dirt when I crossed the state line into Florida. Then add insult to injury and pay 'extra' for the use of their electric.
Up until I hit Florida I never paid extra for electric and stayed at some VERY nice CG's for far less. While traveling across the US as a full timer I have experienced them all and found the rates are 'not' always based on amenities .
It's what the market will bare and is done in all forms of business. Buy their product or not, stay at their CG or not.
I understand your point but I did write "Many" not "All". the statement is correct as written. And in the case of Florida the economics are different. It's the countries arguably warmest climate and the demand for space of any type is so high they can charge more regardless of their amenity list.
But Florida is not the other 47 states of the continental US. And in many if not most of the others the economics I describe are applicable.
