A lot of factors will enter into an answer for you. Price of propane and electricity are a major factor. We've found almost a $9.00 difference in price for a 30 tank of propane in the past four months. We have found that propane dealers tend to be the cheapest while campgrounds the highest. As for electricity, the cost depends on the campground. Those that charge are all over the map. I swear that some are trying to cover all of their overhead with their power charge. One campground we paid $58 for electricity over a one month stay. Another, the cost was almost $200 for the same length of time. If your campground does not charge separately,then it's a no brainer, use the electric. We have found that we can reduce the use of propane significantly by running the fireplace significantly. We have not been able to put dollars and cents to it because of the wide variability to the cost of propane and/or electricity.
