What's the price "tipping point" for you?
I didn't want to hijack the other thread about how some KOA's have gotten too expensive, so I'll ask here: What's your price "tipping point". How much are you NOT willing to pay for a normal/usual ...

Location and destination are more critical to me than price. If the CG is convenient to where I want/need to be I pay the rate. If I'm lucky enough to have a state park in the area, great I'll take the savings.
However if a resort type place is more convenient, that's fine as well I'll pay and enjoy the amenities.
I won't stay far way from my desired location just for the savings. If I end up driving back and forth a longer distance there is no savings.
O.C. MD CG's that are in prime locations are $70 a night or so. Sure I could stay 10-20 miles further out and pay $50.00 or so, But I would no longer be in a prime time location. I'd be a few minutes/miles further out. In which case the convenience of prime time is worth the price.
On the other hand if I have no agenda and just want to camp, I have no problem entertaining myself and enjoying nature at a in a non resort, more remote area and paying less.
Luckily my RV has wheels and I have the choice to enjoy it all. At the end of the day CG fees have little impact on my camping decisions. It's more about location/destination and convenience.
