I live in northern illinois and i’m just tired of the cold weather. I don’t have a lot of money but I just need to go somewhere warm. Camping is cheaper than staying at a hotel and I do love nature and away from everyday noise. can someone please give me some input. thanks!

Stealth Camping- Camping where it’s not allowed.

I’m planning on visiting San Francisco but I’m not shelling out loads of dough for a hotel. I’ve done the hostels there, which are fine, but I’m ready for the real adventure!
Along the trails at Land’s End, for example?
I will have no vehicle.

We want to take my brother to Austin for his b-day in August but we are too broke to pay for a hotel! We’ve got camping equipment and thought about going camping to Mc Kinney Falls park since its close to the city. Is it worth it? All suggestions are welcome!!

Hi! I am a single mom with 5 kids.. and i have finally worked up the nerve and confidence to buy some camping gear and start taking the kids camping… AND.. its a low cost way to travel. Hotels are very expensive for all of us! Some capsites are expensive though. I paid $35 for a primitive campsite last weekend. Does anyone know of any no-fee or low-fee camping sites in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Lousiana, Arizona, or Colorado? THANKS!

My friends and I are going on a road trip later this year, but we want to save money by not going to hotels along the way (and even limiting the number of hostels we visit). Part of the way we can stay at the homes of friends and family, but not the whole way. What I’m wondering is, what are the laws in California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia regarding sleeping in a car and/or road side camping?

My husband and I want to take a weekend camping trip to the Redwoods in NorCal sometime. Anyone know of any good areas to camp at?

We can settle for a hotel as well, but camping sounds more fun.

Is it anything more than vacation for people who don’t want to pay that much for a hotel? Don’t you think an afternoon of hiking followed by a night in a warm bed is better than sleeping on the ground?

I’m looking for any advice pointing towards a good, affordable campsite, and affordable cabins/hotels in Tennessee in the Appalachian’s. A place that is ideally located close to canoing and horseback riding.

Thanks

so me and my sister are going for a road trip this week, and we’re driving down from seattle to califonia. i want to stay in hotels, but she wants to camp atleast one night- my only fear is the bears! just wanted to know if there are a lot of attacks in national parks(like actual camping parks, we wouldn’t sleep in the middle of nowhere) & any precautions to take. if we would camp, it would probably be in oregon or california. should we camp, or just sleep in hotels? PLEASE HELP !!
