Anyone looking for a cheap holiday should look at some of the inexpensive camping opportunities that are available to those of us adventurous enough to take advantage of them! While some people love to temp camp, I personally prefer cheap RV or caravan camping.
There are two major expenses to this type of holiday – the cost of the RV, and the cost of the campground. Many people choose to buy fancy RVs, or utilize RV rental services. These options unfortunately are not exactly budget friendly, and are certainly not cheap.
I favor – and have done so myself – purchasing a cheap trailer for camping. I picked up a travel trailer for sale in Texas for a steal. There are many people who buy travels trailers with the best intention, but then only ever use them once or twice.
This make is ridiculously easy to pick up a like new trailer at a very low cost. While spending a few thousand dollars on something like this may not seem cheap, it is a one off expenditure. You can use it as your accommodations for an endless series of camping trips!
Now, the second big expense of RV camping is paying for campgrounds. There are numerous ways around this however. My personal favorite is to find great places to camp – or boondock – for free. Towing a small travel trailer is a great help in this regards, as you can access more isolated places easier than when driving a full sized recreational vehicle.
One of my favorite means of doing this is to go exploring down forest service roads. You can readily identify some absolutely beautiful camping spots that are wonderful for spending a night at. Another possibility – at least in some states – is to boondock on Bureau of Land Management property, while not completely free the charge is negligible.
Please note you should treat your campground with the respect it deserves. Don’t go lighting unauthorized campfires, dumping trash, and in general leaving a mess. Free camping opportunities like these are not officially sanctioned, so we don’t want to encourage the authorities to crack down on them!
