It always has been because of Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky is a major tourist mecca. Now after being closed down during 2020 they're trying to make up for lost revenue in all places in, and around Cedar Point. If you stay about 1/2 hour away, the rates are usually more reasonable, but at this late hour that strategy may not work either.

This is why many people that attend Norwalk either camp at the primitive campgrounds, or bring an RV to stay in at the track.

I bought an old Holiday Rambler fifth wheel camper (1978) in fairly good condition in 2010ish, just so we could stay at the track so we didn't have to pay the high lodging fees.

I used to service some of the accounts in and around Norwalk for the service company I worked for, and in the off season you could get a room for $25-30 as long as the park wasn't open. Same room during the summer was $150-200 a night.
