How much does tent camping cost at campsites?
Q. I want to go to Ft. Davis, Texas to see stars at some point in the future. But I don't know if camping would be cheaper than getting a hotel. Or if you can see the stars are different camp sites or what.
But the point is, I've never gone camping. So how much do campsites generally cost?

Answer
Fees depend on amenities, location, time of year, and whether it is private or publicly owned.
Generally speaking:
tent sites with no amenities run free-$10/night
State parks with a bathhouse and water run $5-15/night
State parks with electric hookups, water, and bathhouse run $15-30
Private full ameniy places are usually $20-40++
Keep in mind that you'll probably need some equipment that will run a couple hundred or more for a decent tent, bag, sleeping pad, a camp kitchen. If you plan on doing this alot, invest in the best.
The bottom line is that going camping for only a few days is more expensive than a cheap hotel if you never plan on going again. But, once you invest in some long lasting gear, you'll be able to camp for about 25% of the motel costs, stay in better locations, and enjoy the autonomy and adventure of the outside.
Also, you'll save money on food if you cook at the camp rather that dine out like you'd have to with a motel.
