Camping can be one of the cheapest ways to travel, especially close to home.
Tips
- Start with a campground within a couple of hours
- Car camping lets you bring kitchen gear from home
- Go midweek or off-season for availability and sometimes lower fees
- Split a site with another family or friends where rules allow
- Borrow or rent gear before buying
