CG Prices
Preaching to the choir, beating a dead horse, etc etc I know but I still have to vent. I've been camping my whole life and have had travel trailers for the past 18 years and never thought I would...

"The Farm Bureau just reported that the average Fourth of July meal this year costs 17% more than last year. But pricier barbecues are just a sign of much bigger issues.
The numbers don’t lie. Inflation has hit a new 40-year high and it’s showing in prices for even the most basic items. Hot dogs are up 10%. Chicken and hamburger have surged 17% and nearly 14%, respectively. Ice cream will cost you roughly 10% more. And the cost of propane, kerosene and firewood has increased by 28%. Even kitchen staples like milk are up almost 16% and eggs have surged by an astounding 32%. "
But somehow many will expect improvements from the campground.
