Price of camping

You've shot down every suggestion that everyone has given to you. Pay the higher prices of the places you want to stay at in Maryland or go out of state to find someplace similar that is cheaper. Either way, it will probably cost about the same (cheaper price + fuel = higher per night rate).

While I understand many enjoy Passport America and find the program useful.
I have found it has too many restrictions and limitations to be beneficial to me.

Wow, we spent a week at Fishing Bridge in the park for something like $85/n. I was choking on that a bit but location was worth a lot. Helps to be flexible on dates or book early.

Paid $35/n in Cody just before going into the Yellowstone.

I'm guessing you were talking about a holiday weekend or something to be paying $402/n for Holiday Inn.

I pulled August 8 -9 out of thin air.

I may end up camped at my house in Glen Burnie. Guess I lived there for 50-60 years but never camped there. Been every where but there I guess. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Am I reading this right? There's only one CG on the passport site in all of MD? I don't see how that's helpful. Cuz there's a whole lot more CG's than that, some of which are much cheaper.

Maryland is a kind of skinny funky shaped state, so you may need to look at the adjacent states which may be 20-30 miles away.

If you insist on prime location at prime time...yeah, you will pay.

I'm originally from MD so I am familiar with it. My point was really around the value of clubs like passport america which costs money to join yet has only one CG in an entire state?

Well, I see my post was removed. Guess someone couldn't stand the truth. This morning I was quoted around $190 a night + tax etc at a campground in MD for 4 days in October 2023.

Where is that? That's insanity.

Passport America Mid-Atlantic Region

It costs $44 per year to join. Pay attention to the dates the discount is available as well as how many nights it can be used.
