How much should a night of camping cost?
Okay all, I pose that question to you. Now, I am talking about trailer camping, electric at least and more than likely water.
We live in Hamilton County, Indiana. It's a quite wealthy set of towns north of Indy. There's a campground here that is SUPER nice with 100 paved spots, on a river with nicely maintained everything. They charge 20 bucks a night for county residents.
I am starting to think that my tax dollars are paying for camping that I JUST started to use 2 years ago.
Now, the Walnut Ridge RV dealer in New Castle has a campsite, they charge 37 dollars a night. This blows me away a bit. Real Estate in New Castle was probably MUCH cheaper than Noblesville, even though the site here is in a flood plain.
But, I just think about 37 bucks and I try to parse out the costs to run and what the profit is. Is there really 17 dollars more overhead at Walnut Ridge? But, that can't be all profit either, no way.
What's the breakdown do you all think?
