We started camping at Veterans Memorial campground in 2000, and went every year. Sadly, the previous experience will be our last. The pricing structure has changed, and it is now cheaper for us to stay in hotels. We bike with 4 guys, all having individual 1-man tents (biking guys don't share tents). They charge per-tent, and do not waver from this. If we all used 1 tent, the price would be $16. Because we have tiny (very tiny) individual tents, it costs us $64 per night to camp. Our first year, it was $6 per night, and now it is $64. Sad. It has a great location, and is a beautiful area, but if you are biking or hiking with adults, save the money and get a hotel. This place is now designed to cater to the big RV crowd, and us tent campers need to look elsewhere.

The pricing structure at this campground is insane for bicycling groups, and they wont use common sense for pricing. They charge per tent, and only allow 1 tent per campsite. We have 4 adults who each have tiny 1-man tents (common with bikers/hikers). They would require us to rent 4 entire campsites, for our 4 guys. If we had a single 4 man tent, then we could use 1 site. The total cost, for 4 guys, on a patch of grass, $128 BEFORE tax. Like most bikers, we just wanted a patch of grass, and a shower. This is insane. Bikers, stay away. Veterans campground nearby is also a ripoff, for the exact same reason, but the price for us was $64 for 4 guys (hotels in the area are cheaper).
