I remember my Dad trying to find campgrounds that had signage on the Interstate for the next exit.. Then traveling for quite a few miles on a narrow dirt cow path up a steep road in the middle of the night to only find locked gates with no place to turn around..
Then having to backup all those miles back onto some semblance of a blacktop road.. He was lucky to be hauling a TC and not a trailer although I do remember at least once backing into a POLE..
From my point of view I see several issues..
Easy on/off, close to Interstate or main roads and low cost do not go hand in hand..
Anything close to a major road, highway, Interstate WILL be expensive..
Anything close to a major road, highway, Interstate WILL be NOISY (I remember more than once Dad finding a campground that just sat a few yards from a busy Interstate, the noise from vehicles was all night and incredibly annoying)..
I would not want to pay $5, $10, $20, $40 for a campsite that would be more noise than a Walmart parking lot even if it a half mile from the Interstate!
I may as well just find a Walmart lot and pay nothing for the few hrs of sleep I am after.. 99 cent hearing protectors make the noise at WM tolerable..
