How much should a night of camping cost?
Okay all, I pose that question to you. Now, I am talking about trailer camping, electric at least and more than likely water. We live in Hamilton County, Indiana. It's a quite wealthy set of towns ...

Sometimes camping helps amortize the cost of a rig:
Trailer + Generator -- $14,000
sell price, 80% of NADA low, 8,000.
Cost per night, $0 due to being part of a festival's cast.
Total nights camped: 120
Cost per night: $50.
Of course, if you add food, supplies, and other stuff, it goes up from there, but it is well under the rates that local hotels/motels charge. Last weekend, people were paying $300 a night for a RV park spot, so all things considered, my travel trailer is cheaper than a hotel in a lot of ways.
Of course, when I trade in the TT for a motorhome, all bets are off.
Don't forget to add the cost of the gas for the truck to tow it, it's depreciation, upkeep, etc.
