cheap camping near charlottesville va.

Does anyone know of any cheap campsites or camping spots  near Charlottesville ?  I'll be on the transam.  I've found one campsite at around $25 plus tax.
Thanks.

I looked around and didn't see anything less expensive. That's a popular area. $25 is probably at or below what you should expect in that neck of the woods unless you can camp for free on public land in the area. Camping in the mid-Atlantic states can be relatively expensive. I see rates in the $30s and $40s in in some places in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. When I crossed PA last year I was routinely paying in the low to mid $20s for camping even in places that were not particularly popular.

I bicycled from Florida to New York this summer following the Atlantic Coast Trail. I was quoted up to $70 for a campsite.
