We thought when we started we would be using state and federal campgrounds. Most states are impossible to get into in the summer on the weekends, and also charge extra for a MH pulling a car unless you buy an annual pass. Plus, since most states are hurting it costs as much, if not more, than staying at a private campground. There are a few state parks in the west that we like on the shoulders (before Memorial Day and after Labor Day) and they all tend to be old COE parks. Absolutely love COE parks, always have space for all sizes of vehicles and the Corps knows how to build them. Plus they only allow 6 month out reservations and we have utilized them all over the midwest. National Parks are all reserved the day after New Years for most weeks between Memorial Day and Labor Day. So we went with membership parks and have saved money and enjoyed ourselves for years. Yes, we are outside of most National Parks, so we do day trips and come back to our $0 - $10 a night site. Works well for us.
