The National Park Service (NPS), while considering charging overnight camping visitors, isn't sure if that would be feasible. On Sept. 26, 1969, Luis A. Gastellum wrote to NPCS Administrator George B. Hartzog, Jr. with concerns about the proposed fee program. In a letter, he asked the agency to reconsider the idea. The resulting debate lasted until March 1970, when a congressional directive was issued to implement fees.

Private campgrounds can't be subsidized with tax dollars like federal parks and must charge visitors fees. But, it is necessary as it covers visitors' costs. Most campgrounds agree that visitors should be charged for the services they receive. If you're visiting a popular campground, be prepared to pay a higher price for overnight accommodations. Although you might be able to negotiate lower rates, expect to pay more for overnight accommodations.

There are some campgrounds that offer free camping to seniors. However, these must be in compliance with the government regulations. A senior citizen can camp with up to four spouses and four children, but a group picnic, backcountry, marine fees, and day-use fees still apply. Additional fees apply to a second vehicle that must park on the same site as the first and pay half of the fee. You must also have a valid tag for the additional vehicle. If a resident wants to spend a week at the state park, they will likely be charged more.


If you can't afford to pay more for an RV park, consider staying at a campground without the luxury of resort amenities. Smaller RV parks often offer better amenities and are less expensive than larger parks. Although the price tag may be lower, you still have somewhere to park your vehicle. This is a great choice if you don't mind sacrificing some amenities. You may even save money on additional amenities.

The price of a camping pitch includes two people, a car, and a unit. Some campsites may charge extra for an awning. Glimmerglass provides sites for six adults, nine children, and site #165 offers a place for two adults, five children, and one of the most expensive campsites, $165. A cabin will cost you more, but it is worth asking the campground in advance about any amenities.
