Our 2-week trip to Yellowstone last month reminded me of a typical breakdown of campgrounds for us, which can vary considerably in type and cost. Our trip started from Texas, and was 12 nights/13 days. All nights were in paid campgrounds, yet the total cost was reasonable in my opinion.
Two nights (first and last -- closest to home) were in a small Texas city campground charging $17 per night.
One night was in state campground in Colorado.
Four nights were in National Park Campgrounds.
Five nights were in KOAs.
Total cost was probably around $500, maybe a little less. The YNP campground was actually more expensive than I recalled on previous visits, but still worth it to stay inside park when you have limited time.
Getting the van from Florida to Texas and back for the trip involved two additional nights which I spent in rest areas while traveling alone. I drove late both ways and stopped to get 5 or 6 hours of sleep each night.
