Pay showers
We have been campers for many years. Until this year, we only found pay showers at state and national parks. Lately, however, it seems that we are running into many private campgrounds charging us.....

I mostly see the pay showers at campgrounds where there are a lot of tenters or backpackers.
X2, as well as beach front campgrounds where you are apt to take more than one shower in a day, or shower kids due to the salt water. Until we had an RV we were more than willing to pay for a hot shower-wasn't that expensive back then but energy costs weren't out of sight, either. Higher costs also discourage wasting water. Even when I had elbow length, thick hair I never took more than 10 minutes for a shower.
One of the reasons we started RVing was to avoid having to use a communal shower. But if the situation warranted it we'd use them, gladly pay, and understand the campground is a business not a charity.
