I'm seriously interested in what you define as "nice" and can justify that rate. Not in any way condemning your choices, just really want to know.
Justify? Not really. They are absurdly priced but those RV resorts are in the areas I wish to travel. Sure I could go somewhere else, but I wouldn't be where I want to be.
Take San Diego for instance. Chula Vista is by far the nicest resort in the area. Summer season, holidays etc. can easily be $80-$100+. Wide spots, easy in/out etc. Same with the RV park on Mission Bay. Even more pricey even though spots are tiny and cramped so I avoid!
Temecula, CA. Pechenga RV resort. One of the nicest RV parks I've ever been to. Very wide spots, near CA's most southern Wine region. Again, during peak season and holidays spots can easily reach $80+.
There are less expensive state parks, some on the beach. Great views. But they aren't full hookup and most are very small spots, crowded together. I do not enjoy sitting out staring at my neighbors sewer line nor do I wish to be far from the destination I wish to be near.
That said, there are other areas I travel that are more reasonable such as Williams, AZ or in parts of Southern AZ. Great RV parks priced $40 or so. Mostly my comments were regarding some areas in California.
