Cost of PA/OH/WV/MD/NY State Parks

Hi all! Thanks for your time & consideration.

I figure a lot of us have traveled with or met up with non-RV owners who had to find nearby lodgings to make it work.

I'm researching what I hope will be somewhat of a road-trip style loop out of Southwest PA, and shocked to see what looks like staggering state-to-state differences for cabin accommodations.

We're experienced with PA modern cabins and I know that for a week in the summer, our travel party add-ons can get a modern cabin (kitchen, bathroom, A/C, provide your own bedding/cookware) for <$100/night.

It looks like WV cabins (admittedly *with* bedding, unlike their PA counterparts) and equipped a bit more comfortably, are closer to $200/night.
The Ohio ones comparable to the WV ones are looking to be around $300+/night!

Is this really the case? I know it's not a true apples-to-apples comparison, but am I really seeing a stark $100/$200/$300 difference to get a family of 5 into a modern cabin with A/C, bathroom, kitchen, etc?
Thanks...any info is much appreciated. Maybe i'm looking in the wrong place on the state reservation sites, or maybe this is a known "thing".

Happy travels, all!

I should clarify...these are for *state park* cabins of the "modern" variety. Thanks

See https://ohiodnr.gov/go-and-do/plan-a-visit/cabins Most are in the $130 to $170 per night including bedding etc. Bass island is the exception at $400 per night in season. It's been a few years, but we did stay in a cabin at Hocking Hills. Had everything we needed. No luxury, but great screened porch and very private.
