Prices and Ground Fees for Camping Sites

Although the National Park Service (NPS), is exploring the possibility of charging overnight campers for their services, it was not certain if this would be feasible. Luis A. Gastellum wrote George B. Hartzog Jr. on Sept. 26, 1969 to express concerns about the proposed fee program. In his letter, Luis A. Gastellum urged George B. Hartzog Jr. to continue to study the idea. The resultant debate lasted until March 1970 when a congressional directive was issued to establish fees.

Private campgrounds are not subsidized like federal parks. They charge visitors' fees. But, it is necessary as it covers visitors' costs. Many campgrounds agree with the requirement that visitors pay for the services received. For overnight accommodations, expect to pay a higher rate if you're camping in a busy area. Although you might be able to negotiate lower rates, expect to pay more for overnight accommodations.

Some campgrounds offer seniors free camping. However, they must adhere to government regulations. Senior citizens may camp with up to four of their spouses or children. However, there is a charge for a group picnic, backcountry, maritime fees, and day-use fee. Additional fees apply to a second vehicle that must park on the same site as the first and pay half of the fee. A valid park tag must be displayed on the additional vehicle. For a week, a resident will pay more to park in a state-owned park.

Consider staying in a campground if you are unable to afford an RV Park. Smaller RV parks can often be cheaper and provide more amenities than larger ones. Although prices are lower, there will still be a place for you to park your RV. This option is great if you're willing sacrifice some amenities. You may even save money on the extra cost for amenities.

Camping pitches cost for two people, a car and a unit. An awning is free, but some campsites charge a fee. For example, Glimmerglass has sites for six adults and nine children, while site #165 charges a couple of adults and five children. A cabin will cost you more, but it is worth asking the campground in advance about any amenities.

There are many factors that affect the cost of camping. Popular campgrounds will assign each camper their own space. At these sites, the rates are generally fifteen to thirty dollars per night. In high season, it is possible for groups to be seperated. The group's number will determine how much cancellation fees are due. Before you arrive, please read the rules and regulations.
