Sometimes I'm amazed at posts regarding site prices and looking for places to sleep for free on the cheap. It seems some have no problem buying TV's that cost $40 - 60+K and RV's that cost anywhere between $30 -100+K and then are looking for places to stay on the cheap. Not a criticism; just an observation. Justify all you want; the observation is supported by the posts on this site. Makes you scratch your head. Camp on!
If / when one finds themselves in a situation where they want to rest for a few hours, or it's too late to check in to a campground, or there aren't any campsites available within a reasonable distance, etc., in relationship to ones ability to continue driving without endangering others or themselves, one wouldn't have to scratch their head.
Personally, I tend to be extravagant in some areas and frugal in others. I own my two RVs and my home outright, yet, I turn lights out when I leave a room, will spend extravagantly on art supplies and or technology, while also seriously considering whether to buy this bleu cheese dressing or the brand that is 50 cents less expensive.
Just one of the quirks I accept about myself. ::: shrug :::
