yes, I've seen a 'interstate RV park' on one occasion, at least, where we self-paid, self-parked, had electricity and water, and had a dump station. I did not see this as necessarily 'cheaper', though, just more convenient for interstate travelers. The only building was the 'self-register' area. The park is right behind a McDonalds, and rather loud with passing/parking semi trucks in a lot nearby.
With a location near the interstate and local intersection, it's probably a high-priced piece of real estate, and highly taxed, accordingly. It's not a destination, or a place for more than a night or two, and doesn't allow any long-term stays, but certainly o.k. for it's purpose.
Yes, there are many different business plans and situations when it comes to 'how' a park is built, priced, organized, and offered to the public - my previous comments where more to the point of 'why' most current RV Parks and Campgrounds don't price for simple 'overnight without hookup' stays - it's just not in their business plan, and many might even see this as a cheap way to stay, but then still 'expect' the same amenities and usage of the facilities as everyone else.
