$250 a day sounds pretty good to me, for a class C. With the current level of use for mine, it costs me about $600 a day for the days I use it. It would cost me less if I could use it more.
Have you checked hotel rates in the places you to be? Camping cabins? There are alternatives to motorhome camping, which is probably not really camping, rather living in a house on wheels. My way of seeing it, since I do both.
I've seen motorhome rental prices over $1000 lately. On the other hand, you might be able to find a pop-up camper for under $200 a day, if you have a vehicle ready to tow it. But maybe not, that's a Kansas/Oklahoma price, not a Colorado price.
To introduce my daughters to camping, if I had not had the Girl Scout camp as a alternative, I would have bought a tent, cooler, sleeping bags, camp stove and lantern and borrow some cooking stuff from the house. Except that I bought that stuff 40 years ago to take my wife camping, and it worked for the girls, and it now works for my grandchildren.
