I imagine it would be most useful for people who camp without electricity often. However dry ice is very cheap (like $1/lb cheap) and more convenient (you don't have to dig a hole) so unless you are camping very often or camp for very long periods of time, it would probably take a very long time to break even.
It is a pretty cool idea though, that alone could justify part of the price for some people.
