[Qxxx]

You guessed it, $130 a night, lol.



Mod Edit; the above link is about a person that stayed at 130 buck a night RV Resort on the Oregon coast. just under 10 minutes long. pleas include a complete description with your links.

Care to elaborate?

There's always a lot of them parked at my local Walmart overnight.

hey we only have a toyhauler now and had travel trailers and a truck camper back in the day and we stayed at $150+ campsites a few times.....very few tho LOL

It isn't us. We are like the lady in the vid. We love boondock, state parks, COE etc. We love this type of camping like her, forest and waterfront lake sites, state parks on the beach etc

every now and then we take our kid to a very touristy expensive spot. Like we are booking Niagra Falls for next summer and it is coming in at 152 per night for bigger site, I am opting for the back in sites at $125.....can't do the $117 near the expressway that are the cheapest cause hubby said nope to it....only 3 nights on the way back from 10 days in Toronto. Toronto cg is only $60 per night. This is kids 'big trip' she wants so we are going for it and I am booking easy and simple in cgs.

Sick thing is $130 a night isn't that rare, there are tons of cgs close to those prices everywhere.
We do avoid mostly tho cause I rarely can give anyone that much for a night but the best thing is it still beats a darn hotel price sometimes.

Everyone camp the way ya want. Spend what you will. Enjoy the heck out of whatever floats your boat

I don’t even know what I’d do if I had to pay a giant price like that. I know my brain would NEVER allow me to enjoy it.

I did pay about $300 a month in a park in Florida for a couple of winters.

Damn I’m so cheap....

 

[RoamerRV428]

Can't take it with ya Camm

I thought the video was interesting. First, seeing row after row of Class-A's as she drove. Then listening to the breakdown on finances, ownership and cost of lots, rental fees, HOA dues, park  management commissions (50%). Great business for the people who own the park. And how the other half lives.

It seems that finding boondocking spots along sections of the Oregon coast can be somewhat of a problem. Most of the public campgrounds are state parks, and they were all fully reserved when I was there 3 years ago. Camping along the highway and in towns is pretty iffy.

 

[highdesertranger]

you need to go inland a couple of miles then there are plenty of boondocking sites. highdesertranger

 

[RoamerRV428]

fighting for state park sites are rough here on the East coast but every year I know it is book 13 months in advance for the beach state parks and we do....I always get a fab spot IF I BOOK immediately and play the stupid game.
It is very hard to get an on the fly spot in a ton of state parks during peak vacation seasons when a lot of families are on the road and exploring. It is a war out there sometimes to find a site LOL ugh

To answer the OP's original question, usually right next to my motorhome with the generator running at least once a month. If you want cheap primitive beach front camping there are a few remote and sandy camping beaches at Lake Powell ($6 a day with a senior pass) but you are much better off to camp on BLM land where you can run the generator to stay cool at night and spend the days at the beach.

They also seem to spend the summers in front of me, driving slowly on narrow roads, never using the pullouts.

 

[B and C]

But, but they're entitled and can't be bothered with common folk! Or they are oblivious!

 

[Qxxx]

They're probably on their cell phones, tracking their retirement investments, as they drive.

Row after row of Class-A's in the video struck me as amusing, because it was just like that at La Posa South and Roadrunner last winter in Quartzsite during the Big Show. I swear it was like big rows of dominos, packed in parallel altogether. Not that I have an inverse  prejudiced bone in my body either, lol.

 

[B and C]

As a moveable home base they would be good as well as a big 5er. Neither will go where I usually go so as a home base only.

 

[owl]

More power to them ! Having money to spend any way they want is fine with me. I dare say they can take their big rigs places vandwellers couldn't go either. Plenty of room in this world for all kinds of lifestyles.

 

[Stargazer]

Amen! ^^^^

 

[Cammalu]

But, but they're entitled and can't be bothered with common folk! Or they are oblivious!

That’s funny. I found the truth to be quite the opposite in general. I found the people in the big RVs even nicer to everyone than the people in the much smaller vehicles and many people in the very small vehicles talking badly about the people in the big RVs. I never heard anyone in one of the huge RVs downtalking those who had much less.

Money doesn’t usually make a big difference in how people treat others but an extreme lack of money seems to certainly have that effect on those who are poor.

I think it’s probably jealousy.

 

[B and C]

I was just remarking about the ones that won't share the road. I agree that most people I meet are nice so maybe the oblivious part fits?

 

[Qxxx]

How the other half lives!! Ummm, I mean the 1%.

 

[RoamerRV428]

I truly find most big rig rv'ers and tenters and all are very nice people....but like B and C said, going down the road is a different story LOL most people can't drive well at all
