Your Scribe doesn't know exactly what a "good deal" is when it comes to looking to buy a camp. It involves how much money you have, how far you are willing to travel, what kind of camp you want, whether you insist on waterfront, etc.

That having been said, these ads in statewide pubs or websites suggest "reasonable" deals even if they aren't good for everyone.
