Camping

What is camping?

Campgrounds in the United States offer a variety of lodging options and related services. Campgrounds typically have sites for pitching tents or parking motorhomes (RVs). Each site may have a fire pit and picnic area. Campground amenities may include restrooms, showers, laundry facilities, barbecue areas, playgrounds for children, shops, restaurants, and various entertainment options. Some campgrounds may also offer equipment rentals and outdoor activities such as hiking and biking trails.

There are different types of campgrounds in the United States, each with its own characteristics and unique features for travelers.

Average cost of different types of campsites

The cost of campsites in the United States can vary significantly depending on their type, location, and level of amenities. Here are approximate price ranges for different types of campsites:

1. Commercial campsites:
$30 to $100 per night, depending on the size of the site, the level of amenities, and the services provided (electricity, water, sewer). In popular places, such as California, prices can reach $200 per night.

2. Campsites in state parks:
$20 to $60 per night.

3. Campsites in national parks:
$15 to $40 per night.

Prices may vary depending on the season, length of stay, and additional services such as access to electricity, water, and sewer.

“Campsites do not want to accept cash and pay for parking at the reception desk,” said traveler Vlad Sharapov. “They ask to book sites on this website and pay online.” Camping rates, even in national parks, are minimal, ranging from $20 to $60 per night. Prices are not posted on the site when the system is “first come, first served”, so you need to arrive early.”
