Camping in this economy

How many people are camping and how far are they traveling?

This week we are traveling 240 Miles to camp for 3 days. For us it is less expensive than staying in a motel, or condo.
Gas for the trip around $175.00. Campsite, with tax, $165. Total, $340.
3 nights in a condo. $600+ 3 nights in a motel room, actually 2 rooms. $600+. SO. It's pretty plain to see. The camper is a better value.
