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 emailed George B. Hartzog Jr. in concern about the proposed fee system on Sept 26, 1969. In a letter, he asked the agency to reconsider the idea. The resultant debate lasted until March 1970 when a congressional directive was issued to establish fees.
Private campgrounds can't be subsidized with tax dollars like federal parks and must charge visitors fees. The fee covers the costs of visiting visitors and is therefore necessary. Many campgrounds agree to charge visitors for the services they provide. Be prepared to pay more if your campground is popular. Sometimes you may be able negotiate a lower rate but expect to pay more.
Some campgrounds offer free camping for seniors, but they must comply with 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. In addition, a second vehicle must be parked at the same site and pay half of the fee. An additional vehicle must have a valid park tag. For a week, a resident will pay more to park in a state-owned park.
Staying at a campground with no resort amenities is an option if you cannot afford an RV park. Smaller RV parks are often cheaper and offer more amenities than larger RV parks. Although the prices will be lower, you'll still have a place 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.
A camping pitch is for two people and includes a car as well as a unit. An awning is free, but some campsites charge a fee. Glimmerglass allows six adults to use its site, and nine children. Site #165 is for two adults and five children. A cabin costs more than a campsite, but you will need to inquire about the amenities beforehand to avoid paying extra for them.
Camping rates can vary greatly, depending on the type of facility. Camping sites will give each camper a space at a popular campsite. These sites charge between fifteen and thirty dollars per night. In high season, it is possible for groups to be seperated. The number of people in the group will determine the cancellation fee. Before you arrive, be sure to review the rules.
