BUDGET CAMPING
RV parks and campgrounds are a
necessary part of traveling for most
RVers, especially those that travel on a
full-time basis. They are a little oasis in
an unfamiliar area, and can provide the
necessary hookups to let you enjoy many
of the comforts of home during your
temporary stay.  There are plenty of
choices to be had when selecting an
overnight stay though, and here are
some ways to save money at RV parks
and campgrounds:
Money saving tips for the first time
rvers.  Discounts and Clubs
Arrange for a longer stay at the same place.  Many parks and
campgrounds have daily rates that are higher than they are if you
agree to a multi-night stay instead.  Obviously, it benefits the RV park
if you stay more than just one night, so they offer incentives to get
visitors to do just that. If you plan on being in a particular area for a
few days anyway, why not take advantage of any lowered multi-night
rates that the campground has to offer?
Join an RV club where the members can often get a discount off
the daily rate almost anywhere across the country.  For instance,
Good Sam Club members can usually get around a %10 discount
on most overnight rates across the nation. You may also be able to
get the added benefit of receiving discounts on other supplies and
facilities at these campgrounds because of being a member too.
Use less hookups where you stay.  Many campgrounds include all hookups in one
standard nightly rate, but some charge only a base rate and then charge separately for
additional hookup options.  If you are watching your pennies for any reason, these parks
can be a great place to save a few dollars by just using minimal hookups during your stay
there.
Stay at campgrounds that are off the beaten path.
 If you stay at an RV park or campground that is in close
proximity to a major highway you will most likely pay more
for that option.  By doing a little advance research you may
be able to find a suitable campground that is more rural and
still has the features that you want. Usually the daily rate will
be much less at these kind of parks.
Dry Camp.  Some parks have lots that have no hookups at all.  These spots are
basically just places to park your motorhome overnight and you won't have all the
comforts and amenities other than those that your RV provides on it's own, but you can
realize significant savings by taking advantage of these low-cost park lots for a few days at
a time anyway.
State Park Campgrounds are often overlooked by the
rver.  Many of these parks have full hookups and the          
amenities of the private rv parks at a substantially lower
cost.  Another cost saving idea is the National Forest       
 Campgrounds.   Though the features may be limited,
and they may be somewhat out of the way, you can camp
for a few dollars per night and the beauty of the
surroundings is unsurpassed.
Off Season Camping.  These are but a few of the ways
to stretch your camping dollar.  Off season camping
rates are as much as 60% below normal rates is a good
example of another way to save.  Don't  hesitate to ask  
when checking in if they offer any special discounts besides club discounts.  (i.e. AARP,
Military, etc.).  When you know that you have saved on your camping site, the evening
cocktails seem so much more enjoyable.
