Cheapest motel in Soledad (near Pinnacles) looks like $110 a night right now. Plus there is a lot more demand for a campsite in Pinnacles than for a hotel room along the 101. I think the real value of that Pinnacles campsite is more like $200 a night. Depending on the time of year, of course. Pinnacles is not too bad a divergence, though - worse is Point Reyes, where a campsite costs $30 a night, but it's very close to San Francisco, and a hotel room would certainly cost hundreds of dollars a night. And Point Reyes is terrible for people reserving spots that they don't end up using.
