Camping Ground Fees & Camp Site Prices

Although the National Park Service (NPS), was considering charging overnight camping fees, they were not sure if it would be feasible to implement such a program. Luis A. Gastellum contacted George B. Hartzog Jr. the NPCS administrator with concerns over the proposed fee program on September 26, 1969. In his letter, he urged the agency to continue to consider the idea. The debate ended in March 1970 when Congress issued a directive to implement fees.

Private campgrounds aren't subsidized by tax dollars like federal parks, and so charge visitor's fees. It is required because it covers expenses incurred by visitors. Many campgrounds agree with the requirement that visitors pay for the services received. Be prepared to pay more for overnight accommodation if you are visiting a popular campground. You may be able to negotiate a lower rate in some cases but you should expect to pay more.

Some campgrounds offer free camping for seniors, but they must comply with government regulations. Senior citizens can camp with up four spouses and their children. However, there are still fees for day-use fees, group picnics, backcountry and marine fees and day-use fees. A second vehicle must also be allowed to park at the same spot and pay half the fee. An additional vehicle must have a valid park tag. The cost of a week spent in a state parks will be higher for residents who wish to do so.

You don't have to spend more on an RV park if you don't want the resort amenities. Smaller RV parks can often be cheaper and provide more amenities than larger ones. The prices may be lower but you will still have a place for your RV to park. This can be a good option if you are willing to give up certain amenities. You could even save money by skipping certain amenities.

Camping pitches cost for two people, a car and a unit. A tarp is not required, but some campsites require it. For example, Glimmerglass has sites for six adults and nine children, while site #165 charges a couple of adults and five children. You will pay more for a cabin, but the campground will inform you about amenities before you book.

Camping rates will vary depending upon the facility. Campgrounds will allocate each camper a particular space in popular campgrounds. At these sites, the rates are generally fifteen to thirty dollars per night. High season may mean that groups might need to be divided. In case of a cancellation, the fee will be based on the number of people in the group. Before you arrive at the park, make sure to read all the regulations.
