Typically, the only charge I run into is for parking, which is like 3-5 bucks a night. Nothing to cry over.
If you're using a dedicated site at a recreation center that's usually on either end of a trail, however, they will usually charge to camp there, as it's a privately owned business that built and managed that particular area.
