Campground pricing.

We just took a road trip. Just driving our truck, not with the TT. Got good MPG of about 18. Motels were expensive. Got a couple of good deals but some were outragous in price. Went this option because of gas prices.

Now to my question. Anyone have a good estimate of the average night rate of regular campgrounds, not state or federal places?

Trying to questimate our next trip and see what is the better option price wise.

(Oh the camper we know is more comfortable!)

That's a loaded question....what type of hotels did you stay in? There's a difference from a Motel 6 and the Ritz Carlton. Also depends on your location and the ammenities you get and/or want. If you are talking private campgrounds in a non-tourist area, I would say $40-45 night average is a safe bet. If it costs $25 and is a private campground (and I'm not using something like Passport America with it's 50% off), then I probably do not want to stay there. Not always the case, but true most of the time. But we always make reservations. We rely heavily on reviews and pictures.
