4Girls&aMan Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 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? 2007 2L Freightliner Century Condo, 14.0L Detroit, QD 60002013 Space Craft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbaraok Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 For that amount, I expect there was total concierge service and some other treats that I can't imagine.

Kirk W Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 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.

DuffMan Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Given the land shortage, I'll bet Key West, FL sites are well up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandsys Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 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.

bigjim Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Folks Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 $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!

bigjim Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Maybe it is part of the Herman Cain 999 budget plan. Seriously, how could I pass up an opportunity like this to make a politcal funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysticmd Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if you all have The Secret List from the Escapees Club? Thank you in advance. 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.

sandsys Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 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.
