Looking at campgrounds here and there, they are all pricey at nightly rates. Do most offer a monthly rate at a discount?

Has anyone found that purchasing property to stay in a camper works out financially? What about zoning and utility access?


There are some clubs you can join to mitigate the camping fees. Thousand trails comes to mind.

If you are planning to live in the trailer a good portion of time you will need a good one, as the cheap ones will not work out well. They absorb moisture and will not last.
This is not a particularly cheap lifestyle IMHO. But many people live it.
