I've been through one place where RV rates ($50) were far more than motel rates ($30). There, I stayed at a no-hookups campground for $30, which was far nicer than either. (The RV park was just a parking lot, no trees, showers or toilets.)
If an Rv park is more than $35, I look at motel prices and compare. I still cook my own food at a motel, so there is no extra cost. But if the RV park is significantly less than area motels, I suck it up and pay for it, or go elsewhere.
Forest service and other no-amenity campgrounds, I look askance if over $15. National parks, OTOH, I think are very undervalued. I assume this is due to a desire to be affordable for everyone, and i applaud that.
