Did you ever pay $100+ for a parking spot at a RV campsight?
While I agree in principle that I would never pay $100/night for a RV Park spot I also refuse to pay $50/night either unless there is a really good reason.
However there exceptions.
-- If/when we visit NYC I will not object paying $90 to stay at Liberty Harbor. To be just minutes away from the heart of the city by subway just can't be beat.
-- Well I said exceptions, but I can't think of more, but I never say never, usually anyways.
In a few instances you might need to pay for what you want. In my experience it is the location that costs so much. NYC is one and Key West is another. The California oceanside parking spots are not cheap but, at least so far, they aren't quite as expensive.

Cost us $7,500.00 for two weeks in Hawaii. Once in a lifetime well worth it, if I had some extra $'s would make it twice in a lifetime. The most we've paid for a campground was $45 in BC since there was another within 50 miles and we wanted to stop we paid it and were happy with it. If I wanted to stay at one of those locations for the experience I'd just drink cheap beer for awhile instead of craft brew. I never want to say "I should have".
San Francisco RV Resort: pull through $95 a day. But it is the closest to SF and on the beach so who can argue?
Never paid a $100 a night for a RV spot during the 10 plus years that we spent on the road. However I did pay $189 a month for our 50 foot slip in HI which came with 30/50 amp elec, water and cable for our 42 foot sailboat that we lived on for 3-4 months during the winters for 15 years. Does that count?

To put it in perspective, its $30/day to park a car in NYC, after you pay the $15 toll (round trip) to get into the city
Just got back from the Austin City Limits Music Festival. Stayed at a campground in Downtown Austin near Zilker park. Minimum 5 nights, $100 per night. It was a 12 minute walk to the Festival entrance.
The next closest was about 7 miles away, $30 or $35 per night, if I remember correctly, but almost an hour commute during rush hour and $30 to park near the festival entrance.
My daughter went last year, stayed in a Motel 6, about 4 miles away, and the 3 nights she stayed cost as much as our spot rental for 5 nights. Plus she either had to drive in or take a taxi.
Yes it was spendy, but in the wear and tear vs aggravation, not a bad trade off.
But it'll be a few years before I do it again. LOL
Never....
