I stayed for a week + change on the side of Mt. Rainier this summer. At $10/night in a campground, no expense here ($10 is senior rate which is 1/2 of normal rate but even $20/night is still reasonable). With a RV and planning, seeing the parks is pretty easy and affordable. I agree that staying in lodges is ridiculous.
Ever slid down the side of a mountain in July because you can't find the trail due to DEEP snow AND you don't have the footwear for a STEEP decent? A controlled slide is much better than slipping and then uncontrolled slide. I did it both ways in July. There was apparently more snow last winter than usual due to glbull warming. :-)

Love it!
I’ll never get to sleep in a tent with my wife unless I put up the tent in my master bedroom.
