Not sure where you were looking at camping. Most of the GAP / C&0 is free camping. The KOA in Connelsville used to be very reasonable though there is free camping there too. Husky Haven in Rockdale has decent prices. YMCA in Cumberland is only $20 a person.
Lots of free camping on the C&O though the mosquitoes are a good reason to take a hotel along that stretch.
