# 10 RV Campgrounds With Epic Mountain Views & Hookups Around $50 or Less

Mountain-view RV parks with hookups tend to fall into two price brackets. Either they are low-cost campgrounds with limited services, or they are private parks that charge resort-level rates. The middle ground exists, but it is smaller than many RVers expect.

The campgrounds in this list sit in that middle space. Each one offers water, electric, or full hookups and is located in or near a beautiful mountain setting, while still keeping typical nightly rates around $50 or less.
