Why did you use the most expensive AA level? Aren’t the “minimum” costs available at C level spots? Looks like there are sites where you can pay $35 instead of $60. Certainly you could also do a minimum 1 night stay, rather than 2 nights?
Your consumption of gas, beer, firewood and food don’t really support the idea of increased camping costs either, right? You’d likely have beer & food & heating, and drive somewhere anyway, no? Nothing here except the park fee is specific to camping, and aside from gas this year they haven’t increased by much either.
