The guy with the 50% guideline is pretty close to accurate in many instances.
I'm sure as a park owner you'd want to promote that 50% idea and believe there's that kind of demand. But in the DC area as well as other cities, there's rooms in very good hotels going begging according to the travel websites and they're well under your quotes. With gas prices being what they are, if a park owner wants to keep his campground full, he'd be better off shooting for 35-40% of the local hotel room rates. The greedy owners will have spaces sitting empty.
Just did a Trivago search and the cheapest room in DC for July 22 (random mid week) was $130.00 for a Days Inn. Definately not the Ritz. What is the price of those unused RV sites?
