pulsar,
Not knocking Nolin at all as it's a nice CG but is a destination for an many day stay rather than an overnight or couple day stay.
If you are a Passport America member or one of the other home CG Resort Members, Diamond Caverns CG is close to half the price of Nolin or most other local places yet. We don't let ourselves be controlled by a few bucks difference but rather the overall CG amenities we want to have or use and the convenience to get to the CG. That extra 15 to 20 miles of pulling or driving an RV is far from cheap as it's times 2 as you eventually leave the place also so it negates all or most of the cost savings one can cite. The extra Fuel required, tire wear, mechanical rig wear. and then there's the additional driving time times 2 also are real factors.
We've used DC CG for years now. Both places offer a CG site for you to rent and park on overnight or for a short stay etc and you are only staying there for that short time, not buying the place.
That said, we do like state parks in most of the states when they are an easy sensible location near to our travel route location. Some state's state parks are few and far between and some really suck!
RV'ers have choices!
