RV camping is trending these days\u2014and for good reason. You get to bring your modern conveniences with you, you get to travel farther or even to multiple places in one trip, and you get to camp in a certain level of safety. So, let\u2019s talk about the details, and we will start with the most important one:<\/p>\n

What is the average price for RV camping? RV camping will cost an average of\u00a0 $35 to $50 per night including campsite and food. The base cost per campsite, you are looking at anywhere from $17-$50 per night and food will cost about $15 to $25 per day for breakfast, lunch <\/strong>and dinner. If you consider other costs such as gas and insurance, a two day stay at a campgrounds can cost $50 to $200 per day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those are averages and the true cost can vary depending on gas milage and other variables.<\/p>\n

The price I listed was a range from cheapest to most expensive campsites per night throughout the United States of America. Nowadays, each RV campsite should come with a website where you can get the individual details relatively easily, not just the price, so for now, we\u2019ll stick with the range.<\/p>\n

Along with cost per night, you will also want to think about how much it costs to rent or buy an RV, the cost of food, the cost of hookups, and of course, the cost depending on how long you plan to roam in your RV. Lots of people live in an RV full time, and the cost is actually very doable when you compare it to the rent you would pay in one single area.<\/p>\n

As you can probably tell, even though you have the base cost, you should be prepared for the other features required for RV camping. So, we will talk about long-term prices as well as short-term prices, and of course, the best ways to save money while RV camping.<\/p>\n

    If you already have an RV, you can skip this section. But we might as well go over the biggest cost of all for RV camping\u2014long term or short term: the cost of the actual RV.<\/p>\n

    If you plan on going on many RV trips, or even living in the RV, of course buying would be a better investment. If you are going on a summer trip, perhaps renting is a better option. And anything shorter than one summer trip might call for renting as well.<\/p>\n

    Even if you do plan on buying, you should know exactly what you want from an RV, and that will include going on RV tours and possibly even renting short term to see what actually living in one feels like.<\/p>\n

    So, the average cost of buying an RV obviously depends on the style and extras each model has to offer, but the prices range anywhere from a used RV at $10,000 to a completely new, upgraded model at upwards of $400,000.<\/p>\n

    RVs at prices in between exist, and it is up to you to decide what you need in your new mobile home. Remember, too, that if you buy an RV, you have the option to rent it out while you are not using it.<\/p>\n

    If you buy an RV for your camping trips, you will need to possibly anticipate finding storage for the RV when you are not using it. In a perfect short-term RV camping world, you have a house where you can park the RV when you are at home, but that is not always the case.<\/p>\n

    You will want to research best storage places and prices before purchasing to see if the cost is worth it for your situation.<\/p>\n

    As for renting, average RV rental prices range from $50-$275 a night, again, depending on the model. Generally, the cheaper options are reserved for fifth-wheels or pop up campers.<\/p>\n
