pulsar,
I don't remember the PPA cost at Diamond Caverns offhand but it is what the book and the PPA website states. Perhaps 50 amp might be an additional $2 or maybe some other additional charges for extra persons beyond the normal amount etc.
We have had PPA for as long as it's been offered and it pays for itself with just a couple nights stay each year and saves big time the whole rest of the year. We re-up for 3 years at a time for around ~$120 for the 3 years. I think it's about $50 for one year if only joining for the one year. However, my wife pays the bill so I actually never pay any attention to the exact cost. She tell me if the cost had increase a lot and has not said a word yet.
We use it a lot when traveling as paying $30 to $40 for an overnight stop of 8-10 hours is ridiculous in our thinking. Close to about 2000 CG's in the PPA system unless something has changed. New CG's will be added and some CG's will drop out each year but the trend has been an increasing number in the system for years.
So much better than in a Walmart parking lot or the like in our view and helps keep many CG's viable and open especially in their slower times and us RV'ers need all the CG's and more added yet as they just keep on selling hundreds of thousands of new RV's each year and presently, not adding enough new CG's to keep up with the increasing number of RV's in use. We are not cheap but also not dumb enough to pay $4/hr for just sleeping on a CG site as we very seldom full hookup and only 30 amp electric used and about any RV has a water tank and holding tanks and guess why they do? We also have a pure Siberian Husky dog who doesn't need a paved parking lot either!
We very seldom run our A/C because we don't like the noise or cold air blowing on us. Have no desire to go to places where it's real hot or hot and humid. Only north in summer and usually south for about 2 to 2-1/2 months in deep winter (about 2nd week in January till about the 3rd week of March and back home) as wife is disabled and has limited mobility and had 19 operations and doesn't want more. She also doesn't need to slip and fall on a slippery spot either. Most PPA CG sites are in the $10 to $20 range as it's 50% off the normal base price. All is explained on their website.
