"Across the country, campground prices generally start at around $20 a night and rarely exceed $75. The average RV spot, with power and water hookups, will run about $30, according to J.D. Power. Any way you slice it, that’s a significant savings over the typical vacation." From a news article by Camping World.https://blog.campingworld.com/travel-different/is-rv-camping-the-best-way-to-travel/Not sure where she is finding those rates starting a $20 and averaging $30.

LOL! Wonder how they did their research? Guess they don't consider the unit itself an expense. I'd love to see a $20 campsite (other than maybe a federal site or something) for $20 up here in the northeast!

That information must be atleast 5 years old.Even with discounts, it's tough to find those rates.

They make it sound like everyone should have an RV, good add for someone selling RVs.

Of course they also forgot to account for the additional costs of buying that RV, a tow vehicle or toad, additional registrations and insurance, new tires every 5-7 years, fuel costs, and so on.Just another article that is selling an idea with no clue what it really entails.

I would say we find campgrounds more in the mid 40’s on average. Not complaining. Just an observation.
