Camping prices!!!

I am really getting sick of this.
I have to come to Maryland for family and I still have some chores to do in the area in summer.

I live aboard and dont have an income.

Who the hell can aford $30 freaking dollars a night?? Its a parking spot for $900 a month. I should just get an apartment.

Is there any other way?

I thought I had a brilliant idea and started contacting people selling land to see if they would temporarily rent me a spot and I find out they cant do it because the local governments have zoning laws that prevent land owners from doing this. Someone mentioned farms or agriculturral land might be ok, but Im not sure.

Are there any other options?

    Not 30 per night, but usually 20 or more, while our yearly average costs are around 13 per night.


    I have to ask. How do you manage and average of 13 per night? Boondocking?

  • I am actually looking for non-rv campground solutions.
    Something inovative.

  • That is pretty much the best going rate for camp sites in high season, often you can get off season monthly rates but not in July.

    Apartments in Maryland are only $900 a month? I'd move there if it wasn't so close to DC.
