Boondocked all the way through the western U.S. and then across Canada down through the Great Lakes and back into Canada four months. The few times we paid it was never more than $20 or less thanks to Passport America. $60 a night I would pull into a hotel, use their services, park in their lot and use my own kitchen at dinner time and free breakfast in the morning with use of the pool, spa and gym.
$60 and above is nuts. It's not about whether I have money or not, but what is really best for my needs. We saw so much wilderness and beauty on our last summer's trip I have pretty much sworn off rv parks all together.
I would love to boondock. Not that easy in a pop-up, particularly when just making an overnight stop in route. I will politely ask if you've stayed in a $60 hotel lately? Really hard to get a room that doesn't stink for less than $85 and that's when you are no where near any attraction or maybe in a crowded enough place that competition gets a holiday inn or Comfort Inn down to that rate.
And there definitely won't be a spa, pool, or gym for $60/night.
