Local places? Accept if you're 3000 miles from home, plan on using the America the Beautiful pass and camping in national parks. The alternatives to overnight camping/Rv'ing in national parks for any length of time are very expensive.
I feel for anyone who's been caught in the crossfire of this mess but anyone who goes into the lifestyle of RVing should go into it with eyes-and wallet-wide open. There should always be a Plan B. Any campground can close for unexpected reasons at any time while you are mid-travels. And sometimes you just have to suck it up and head home. Been there, done that. It stinks but sometimes reality bites.
Back east we head to the Beach or the lakes if you stop at the old friend Wal*Mart on the way and back you can save a few dollars against the private CG's -- also PA works to keep the $ down.
There is still a lot you can do for a little.
JMHO,
