Camping fees can vary greatly
from campground to campground. So how can you stay without throwing
the budget right out the window? Well you can join a camping club
that will give you discounts usually about 5% to 10%. Some people
join more than one club, but just know there is a cost to join and
some restrictions about when you can stay and how long.
Passport America is a 50%
discount club, and a true 50% discount plus tax of course.
A good site to check out for
cheap camp fees would be Allstays.com. If you are just looking for a
spot for just one night try Walmart parking lot, Cracker Barrel,
Cabela's, the Elks club if you are a member. A lot of these places
will let you stay overnight if you will ask first and maybe buy
something from them. Some city and county parks will let you stay
and some even have water and electric.
Don't forget truck stops,
Flying J, Pilot. Most of these now have fuel pumps just for RV'ers
and dump stations. Even interstate rest areas can be used to catch a
few winks if needed. Just be careful and check out the area, if you
have a bad feeling move on. It's never worth the risk.
One of the best ways to save on
camping fees is to stay in one spot longer. Just about every
campground has a price for nightly stays, weekly stays, monthly
stays, and whole season stays. And naturally the longer you stay in
one place the less driving you are doing, so more savings there.
