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 ...

I'm from Indy and I know the park the OP is talking about. The fees are very reasonable. Full hookup sites, even for non-county residents are only $30 a night and $150 a week. My guess would be that Noblesville just isn't an in-demand locale for RVers.
I love our state parks, but I find them to be overpriced. $26 a night (plus tax) for electric-only sites is too high, IMO. These parks also charge an entrance fee (even if you are camping there), get state tax money, and get money from the environmental license plates, so it's not like they are counting on campsite fees to cover the operating expenses for the whole park. Oh, the pools at the parks also charge an entrance fee to campers, and the crappy green firewood sold at the parks is WAY overpriced.
