Why the prices differ
  • Recreation.gov: $16/night for “Site 010 · Standard Nonelectric”.
  • Hipcamp: $35/night for “Riverside Camping #2”.

Each provider lists its own site types, so the cheapest option isn't the same site. Taxes and booking fees aren't included and aren't in our data for either provider; compare the total on each site before paying.
