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 ...

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.
At Walt Disney World - for instance - as the OP suggested, I'd expect above $100 a night almost any time of the year.
In much of the rest of the country, I'd be hard pressed to give above $35 a night in the mostly smallish cities I stay in. Of course, depending on the weather, when we're touring an area, we stay @ the Walmart Supercenters wherever available, when we feel it is safe and not in a questionable bad area of most any city or town - local ordinance and the WM permitting overnighting that is.
Good luck!
