RV Camping

What is the average cost of Rv camp grounds,Rv parks, west to east coast and do they really enforce a 10 year old or newer policy? Thanks

    Wow!!! I hadn't read the July Data yet. Inflation is definitely upon us since the June report had the average at $42.97.

    Have you seen this site?

    I have had good luck with freecampsites or even if we needed to dump and do shore power we could find something for $10.00 to $20.00

    It opens the door to lots of research on your part as to how you boondock. One small 12 volt battery wont go far and rv converters are sometimes not real good at keeping up with the demand. There is a lot to read on here as far as led bulbs, better converters, battery upgrades etc.
  • When we are touring we usually stay at a full service campground at least once a week to do laundry, dump, fill, charge, etc.

  • Yep, Do Not worry about the 10 year rule unless you may be going to a high end resort RV park that can charge up to $150 (or more per night). We try and arrange our route of travel to use the state parks. Although, they have been on the rise with regard to pricing. We averaged $28/per night on a recent four state trip.

    No.

    is that with or without tax? LOL
  • I wouldn't worry about the 10 yr rule if you are basically respectable looking. I try to not pay for any camping but my guess is its common to be around $28.00 to $40.00
    You can find ways to camp for free, then you find some that are little county, dept of ag etc that may be $5.00 or $10.00. Then there are some of that type that move up to $15.00 to $20.00

    What's your plan? Are you into boondocking and able to generate your own power or do you need to plug in often? Just curious, not prying.
  • On the ten year rule, the basic answer is no. The following is from a recent exhaustive scientific and thorough survey I conducted on the subject:
