$52 per night for FHU actually sounds reasonable for A KOA if you like such places. The one 4 miles from our home in PA is more than that I think (they don't put their rates up so you can check them on the websites without a lot of BS), and IMO it's a sort of dumpy, crowded place filled with about 75% seasonals. I'm certain it was more than $52 a few years back. I just played with the Tucson KOA site and it shot me back $100 per night.
Heck, for full hook ups here at any of the PA state parks that have them, you'll be set back $44-$46 per night and no pool, goofy golf, etc.
I think if $52 is too much for a FHU at such a place, you may want to re think the RV thing? I don't see rates going down.......anywhere.
I wish we had the millions of acres of BLM facilities and all the dispersed camping available like out west. If you want cheap AZ has what? 12 million acres? From what I can tell the BLM developed campgrounds are cheap. But if you absolutely need hook ups and pools, bring the checkbook I guess.
