Offering those low prices to attract customers like you often means the customer that would pay the high price for the available amenities will, instead, pay that low price and still use everything. It is no different than the fact that high end restaurants with elegant furniture, fixtures and exceptional service don't offer a ninety nine cent value menu. It isn't about missing out on your $12.00. The fact is the park isn't interested in serving your market segment.
I think some of the park owners that are commenting are missing the point that most of us who use PA are traveling and just want a place to stop for the night, cook dinner, maybe do a little laundry and sleep. We are not using the park as a destination park. That is not worth high dollar site fees. When we are sleeping the majority of the time while at your facility, we are not adding to your expenses.
We have stayed for an entire winter for $12 day w/ electric, high speed wifi, pool , bathhouse/showers etc. They must be making money at this campground to offer PA year round with no restrictions. On the gulf coast, so a desirable location for winter.
