What the most expensive daily rate you've seen?

Recommended Posts

Was looking for a site in FL and found one that was listed as $999.00 a day or $6,552.90 for 6 nights.

 

I've usually complained if the nightly rate exceeded $20.

 

What's the highest nightly rate you've ever seen?

The most that I have come across was also in FL but not even close to that amount. There was a park not far to the east of Naples when we were there about 5 years ago that had monthly rates ranging from $2400 to $3200/month and I don't remember what their nightly rate was. But it was also one that limited the customers to only the highest priced RV, and I believe that it was a motorhome only park. (not sure on that part)

We paid $99 for our one night at Boyd's in Key West. Otherwise we prefer $20 or less. We spent a lot of nights in Walmart parking lots and in the desert in Arizona to help offset that one very expensive night. But, we wanted to spend a day touring Key West and that was the best way for us to do it. The sunset at Mallory Square and other local sights were a once in a lifetime experience for us and I'm glad we did it.

I just wonder if it is the seasonal high rate. I would guess that some parks pretty much have to make their money during prime season and are nearly empty for months at a time. Also proximity to certain things like Nascar track or other specialty events might be a factor. It could be that the extreme rate includes certain things like passes or parties. Of course as Kirk said some of the draws for some are the exclusion of others.

$999.00? Has to be a mistake of some type. 999 sounds like a default number for the website.

 

Florida rates are high, but not high! Yet.

 

Link?

 

Kirk: You are right. It is called Pelican Lake Motor Coach resort. Nightly $100.00. Monthly $2,600. Motor coaches only, over 26 feet.

 

Or you can buy a lot there for around $200,000. Annual taxes are about $2,200. and a maintenance fee of only $4,100.00 per year!

Are you posters with the $20 and less rate not on full hookup but site only? We've been all over the country and with our Sam's discount or AAA rates have been $28-$32 for full hookup - and these are on the cheap end with small sites, usually minimal amenities on site and the location not convenient, but full hookup. Just wondering if you all have The Secret List from the Escapees Club? Thank you in advance.

Just to pass on some interesting information I have heard. I'm at boyds in KW and have it on good authority that there are100 people on a waiting list for December/ January 2016.

 

It's a great park, but damn.

There is a "secret" list available for Escapees members. It is called "Days End" . There are other websites which list free or low cost places to park an RV. Search for "free campgrounds".

 

Passport America will get you an under $20 rate at many places with full hookups. There are restrictions though. Many times no weekends or only one night, or off season only.

 

National Forest, some National Parks, many BLM, lots of small towns, have campgrounds for $20 or lower. Other than some of the small towns no elect at the under $20 rate. Many times there are dump stations available and fresh water to fill your tank.

 

Not that anyone would exaggerate the number of RV Parks that they stay at for $20 or less.

 

Personally we spend very few nights at private RV Parks, crammed into small sites with only the view of the RV next to you. Our RV, as most all RV's are, is self contained, so we have little need for water and sewer hookups. We have also worked to improve our house battery capacity and battery charging setup, along with an inverter to run the TV and computers so electricity is a luxury, not a necessity. This way we really don't need to stay at RV Parks.

You are on the Escapees' forum and don't realize that if you joined SKP you could stay at an SKP RV park for around $20 a night? Here is a list of the SKP co-op parks: http://www.escapees.com/Parking/CoOp.aspx and here is a list of the SKP "owned" parks: http://www.escapees.com/Parking/RainbowParks.aspx

 

And here is where you can sign up for an Escapee membership ($29.95 now plus a $10 enrollment fee - per year): www.escapees.com

 

I hate to be an unabashed promoter of staying at SKP parks... oh, wait... no I don't. :P

If you have the geezer pass to the national parks you can stay at Corps of Engineer parks for half price. We've had some great views with amazingly cheap hookups. Since most of these parks are where the Corps built a dam, hydro-powered electricity is often included.

Forgive my ignorance but the co-op RV thing is new to me. Is this popular? What are the benefits?

Thanks!

If you're a non-Escapee and want to try out a park, here's a great deal from the Benson, Arizona Escapee Co-op (Saguaro). Non-members can stay for a week with full hookup for $50.

It's a beautifully maintained park in southern Arizona with large lots.
