Fast note: This article combines real stories and useful tips from RV travelers and full-timers across the country that shared what they actually pay.

The price of RV Park is not “one size for all”, it really depends on what you search. Most parks charge nightly prices for shorter trips, and the range is huge. At the most cheap end, simple campgrounds cost around $20 a night, while fancy resorts can reach $100 or even more.

How Much Do RV Parks Cost?

If you want to keep the costs low, you most commonly look at $20 to $40 a night. Mid-level parks give nice balance between what you receive and what you pay. Whether you want nice pools, fishing places, and very good bathrooms?

That can cost somewhere between $50 and $75 a night, sometimes yet more. A good place with full hookups commonly is around $35 to $40 a night.

Campgrounds taken care by the government, state and county parks, usually are gentler for the purse. You will find many that charge between $7 and $20 a night, although that depends on how much popular they are and what hookups the place offers. For instance, there is a Park in Mitchell, South Dakota, that offers places with full hookups for only around $10 a night.

State parks with electricity and water commonly stay under $30. Overall, public campgrounds beat private ones on price, although privtae parks commonly add more activities and fun.

Here where staying more long really pays off. Weekly prices are clearly cheaper than pay every night. Take this sample: one Park requires $40 a night, but their weekly price falls to $250, and the monthly goes down to $650.

The more long you stay in one place, the better becomes the deal.

Monthly prices range very strongly by place and amenities. The usual monthly cost for RV Park is somewhere between $500 and $1,200. It is possible to find places that require only $350 to $500 monthly, while others charge $1,500 or more.

In Florida, monthly prices range somewhere from $500 to $1,500 or a bit more, depending on where you are, what is included, and what season it is. RV travelers in Canada reported that they pay $600 to $900 monthly. One full-timer that I no pay $725 monthly for a fenced, closed land, with water, sewer hookup and wireless internet all in the price.

And also $75 for electricity. Parks near big cities, especially those with “resort” in the name, commonly charge $1,500 to $2,000 or even more a month.

Here the real point: if you book night after night at a top Park, you commonly will pay $60 to $90 a night. Over 30 days, that rises to somewhere between $1,800 and $2,700. That is much more than what monthly prices normally require.

The time of the year affects everything. Peak season… Summer and holidays, mean higher prices because of the big demand.

Autumn and winter? The prices fall and you will have much less neighbors. Coastal parks in California are among the costliest, because all want them and there are not enough for all.

More amenities almost always mean higher costs. The size of your RV and the kind of spot also matters. Big pull-through place costs more than narrow “back-in” place.

And then there is boondocking and scattered camping. Entirely free, if you cantolerate a bit more rough life.
