Why do campgrounds not post rates on their own websites

Looking at campground in Nashville and Montgomery to stay this week,
what makes some campgrounds not post rates - had to call or e-mail them to get rates.

  • They want to sell you on the CG first. Then hit you with over pricing.

    All of the CGs we go to advertise their prices on their sites. And or have no problem telling you when you call.
  • I figure they don't think a posted price would draw them in. Something I keep in mind when looking around their web site.

    I skip past the RV Parks that fail to show the rates on their website. By showing the rates it saves them from having to answer extra phone calls. I feel I should be able to not only see the rates but also make a reservation on the website.
  • They probably want to speak to any potential customers. If they are needing money, they might throw out a price then if you don't bite, then ask if you are a member of anything in order to cut the price down. Or, they are higher than other parks and want to tell you the price and why they are higher. Or...they had some high school kid do their website and didn't put prices.
