DO NOT MENTION VAN CAMPER when calling as some campsites will turn you away on that basis. Always respond with "2000 or better year and 19' B, not van. There is a difference in campground vs RV park. Campgrounds have lower priced sites for tents altho many have 120 electricity but no sewage or water. Those sites are suitable for little vans like yours (and mine) and campsites that allow tenting are mostly not as pricey or snobby. A big benefit of our tiny vans is campsites always seem to be able to fit us in somewhere even without reservations.
Actually, for longer stays I have seen campgrounds charge electricity by usage. In addition, in season vs out of season prices are usual as are higher charges during local festivals.
The pro version of
Allstays.comAllstays.com has a menu selection of campsites by price for the US and Canada. They also have categories for campsite and RV, campsite only, camping club maps, and preferences can be set to exclude or include public or private, state, federal, municipal, etc.

There is also a newish rating site.
http://www.rvparkreviews.com/http://www.rvparkreviews.com/ I have been searching for a more permanent campsite in winter (warmer) since 2011. Finally found a site that meets my needs just this last winter. I tried different areas, camping in one place and then checking out other campsites during the day.
