There isn’t a lot of choice here in Corvallis. We are at the Benton Oaks RV Park which is at the Fairground. We are in one of their “overflow” spaces for now which mean water and power for ~$30/day. It seems kinda high for what you get but it’s cheaper than Anaheim. The camp host said we should be able to move to a full hookup site tomorrow. Quite a few people are here for OSU baseball this afternoon and are leaving tomorrow.
At least in the overflow sights there aren’t any oak trees overhead dropping acorns on the roof. The drive here was uneventful and the only potential stress was the 13’ 3” underpass on 63rd Ave about a 1/4 mile from the campground. The gps said 13’ 3”, the sign on the road said 13’ 4” and the sign on the railroad trestle said 13’ 6”. Needless to say, we fit.
Holy moly, 30 bucks a day for an overflow spot? Owning a campground seems to generate quite a nice revenue.
ReplyDeleteI don’t know what their monthly rate is but the weekly regular and overflow only differ by about $30. A campground could be a nice revenue generator if you don’t have to deal with people.
DeleteEverything costs more now. I paid $30 to pitch a tent a couple years ago in an off season campground. "We have to heat the water in the showers." Oh well.
ReplyDeleteKim and I looked at a place in Maine we used to stay. Haven't been there in 7 years. It was $125 and night then. Now it's $275. Go figure...
Everything does seem to cost more now but if you take inflation into account, there isn’t much change.
DeleteInflation? That's how much my pension check increases every year right?
DeleteRight, keep saying that over and over...
DeleteJust remember how much you paid for your first car....that'll depress ya....
ReplyDeleteYou mean the $500 for the ‘65 Mustang?
DeleteMy first car was a '62 Ford Falcon. Paid $175 for that beauty.
DeleteTry $150 a night five miles out of Key West. That will make your eyes water.
ReplyDeleteOuch!
