We have been full-time for 11 years and have never paid over $38.00 for a night of camping with our motorhome. We use Passport America for 50% discounts, have used the Good Sam discount, stay in Corp of Engineer parks, county, city parks and smaller mom & pop campgrounds. We seldom park at a Walmart and have never parked at a truck stop. There are plenty of less expensive places. Of course rates would be higher for a vacation to a special place, but I'm not on vacation. We have full-hookups 99% of the time.

Not "everyone" fulltimes.
Not "everyone" likes to "limit" their camping lives to Corp Engineers, county, city or small mom and pop camps.
Corp Engineer, county and city parks tend to not be available "everywhere" let alone where popular attractions are..
My county has no Corp Engineer parks.
No County parks you can overnight or camp in.
No city parks you can overnight or camp in.
Many city and county parks are not designed for overnighting or camping and gates close at dusk and open at dawn and folks are expected to leave before gates close.
Besides, your fulltiming at $38 per night, that is $13,870 per yr!
I live for free compared to that as I own my home and property and it has been paid off for the last 20 yrs and has gained equity.. My local taxes cost me $800 per yr and gas for heat and electric costs on average $100 each per month.. So, my sticks and bricks costs me an average off about $3,200 per yr or $8.80 per night!
Beat that..
