We are full-timers and I can tell you we would never pay $47.50 per night. If we did, that would mean we pay $17,337 in a year for campground fees. Maybe others are different but we are not willing to pay that much to park for a night. For those wondering -- NO we do not usually park at Walmart but seek out Corp of Engineer, forestry parks, city and county parks and parks that give camping clubs discounts. We usually pay $8 to $20 per night with many being full-hook up pull thru sites.
The OP doesn't own a city park, a National Forest, a county park and likely isn't in charge of the Army Corp of Engineers, so he apparently isn't seeking to make you a customer. $50 a night RV sites are not uncommon, there tens of thousands of RVers paying that amount every night. I have no doubt that if the OP builds a quality park and the local market rate is close to that amount, he will be able to get customers at that rate as well. One of the great things about RVing is the fact that there are multiple options for sites to meet nearly every RVers needs.
Wow WRVPO, give the PA state parks a try, one of the newer full hook up sites they have been building in some of the parks.
Here is the cost structure.
$15.00 Campsite.
$4.00 Modern. If the park has showers. Most do and you pay it if you need/use them or not.
$4.00 Weekend / Holiday.
$6.50 Electric.
$8.00 Water.
$5.00 Sewer.
$2.00 Pet. All the FHU sites I have seen are in the pet sections and you pay that if you have one or not.
$6.00 Service charge.
So a weekend Friday/Saturday stay is @
$47.50 per night.
Have a toad or 2nd vehicle? Add $5.00 per night.
Out of state resident? Add $5.00 per night.
$57.50
