Campground costs
In anticipation of possibly full timing in retirement I am doing some playing with budgets. Other than the RV loan (no I can't pay cash, and no my home has not been an appreciating asset so a loan is a loan), the biggest expense is where to stay. I plug in $45 a night average and it blows the budget. I don't think we are going to boon dock, nor do we need any luxury.
So tell me, where do y'all stay? I know it's less expensive by the month but I wanted to get an idea of what a month here and there is going for. How difficult has it been to grab spots on state or federal parkland where the rates are a little better? I am trying to find reasonable accommodations without roughing it or blowing the budget.
Also, what do you budget for fuel in a given month? Just a wag. Since we can't stay on the road all the time (we're not rich) we may move about twice or three times a month.
I know this is different for everyone, but I want to see if my numbers are off the mark or closer to the average.
Thanks!!
