I looked up a private park on the Oregon Coast just now. we used to pay $25 a night, it was sold and now the rates are $60 to 80 a night. DW said we might as well stay in a motel. which brings up more arguments from the peanut gallery. So how much do you pay before you say enough is enough?
I won't stay if the nightly rate is over $40. For the price you are talking about, meals should be included! The CG must be pretty awesome to be charging that much.

Being a card carrying member of the "peanut gallery" We stay exclusively in state parks when on the Oregon Coast... tops..$28 per.
Great parks, prime locations.
We once were forced to stay for two nights in a KOA (Warrenton OR). After all the add on I think it was around $70 per...That was enough to say, "enough is enough."

Shouldn't you be posting up links to a bunch of previous threads about park costs? A basic rule of thumb a park consultant once told me was full hookup RV sites should run about 40% to 50% of the rate of local mid line motels (think Best Western, Fairfield Inn, Holiday Inn express, etc.). You would pay more if the park had a lot of included amenities not common to RV parks, or had a much superior location, i.e. directly on the coast, lake, river etc, where the comparables are not similarly situated. You would pay less if the park was not full hookup, was run down or had an inferior location. If the hotels in the area you are talking about run around $150.00 a night, which is not uncommon, the park might be fairly priced.

The most I've ever paid for one night in an RV park is $45. And that was just because it was a nice, available park where I needed one in northern CA on my way through. (I notice they are now $50/night)

Cheapest was 18.00 a night at a Georgia Power campground NO amenities except a somewhat clean bath house. avg seems to be around 30.00. We wont Ever do the 75.00 thing again as it was not worth it,
