Cheapest -- sleep in the car
Cheap -- stay in a tent in a campground... KOA is often the most expensive campgrounds... look for state parks and such. Cheap -- Hostels, tho they aren't very common in the USA. Besides that, Motel 6 is usually the cheapest chain. And there are even cheaper motels to be found, if you're brave. |

If you want to travel cheap in the US but you also want to be able to plan in advance and book reservations camp ground are usually the best bets. The money you save by cooking out instead of going to restaurants is probably as significant as the lodging costs. If you don't mind sleeping in a tent state parks are usually the least expensive and most states have websites where you can search for parks along your rout. Keep a close eye on weather forecasts if you plan to stay in a tent.
If you don't want to sleep in a tent then look for a campground with cabins. Some state parks have them and even places like KOA usually have an option at about half the price of a hotel. Cabins usually have beds, sometimes have AC and campgrounds usually have shower facilities. Groups of people can save really big. I once put a trip together with 10 friends and we all had comfortable accommodations for about $12 a night. To play it safe, book a cabin and a tent site then check the weather forecast before the deadline for canceling reservations. |
