That's like asking if you dine out - what is the average cost?..:R
Steak and lobster at an upscale restaurant? - Mickey D's & Taco Bell?
All depends on what hook-ups & amenities *AND* - location, location, location!
IMO depending on the above - $30. may be *WAY* low!!..:(
Example:
Drove through Pismo Beach (CA) a week ago - private campgrounds (there are *lots* of 'em, big and small) *FULL* of RVs packed in like sardines - at least $50-$60 a night (+).
If you left L.A. with that as your destination - "overnighted" at Flying Flags on I-5 (Buellton/Solvang) another $50-$60. - *average* isn't cheap..:W
Continue (North) up the CA/OR/WA coast - and expect the same by private parks anywhere even remotely close to the ocean/beaches.
BTW - ditto that for motels / hotels.
In Huntington Beach (CA) you can find a motel a few miles from the beach for about $80-$90 per night.
The Hilton *at* the Beach will be about $200.
(The "kinfolk" deal -at the Hilton- when there's a retirement event wintertime is $144. per night)
Take your RV to Newport Dunes (Newport Beach, CA) - and expect to pay about $80-$90 (minimum) in the summer - *if* you made a reservation!
Maybe you would like to go South - like to San Diego.
Another "BOHICA" !!
The State Parks you don't want to know about: - CA in summer at the beaches - reservations made 6 mo in advance. OR State parks may be the same - they are always packed (even w/o hook-ups)
And *NO* such thing as $30. fees, ROTFL.
