Camping is a great way to save money while on vacation. We took our 13 month old son on his 1st camping trip this weekend. It was great, he loved it.
I have camped all my life and enjoy it much more than being couped up in a hotel. Don't get me wrong I like the luxury hotels and spas for special occassions. We even went camping for our honeymoon. We towed our pop-up with no heat/ac all the way to Maine and spent the week. It was romantic and relaxing, just what you need after planning a wedding for almost a year. We spent well under $1000 on our honeymoom. Not many people can say they spent less than $1000 on their honeymoon.
Money saving benefits aren't the only advantages of camping. You have your own linens, you don't have to pack the car and unpack the car, you have your own kitchen and bathroom and these are just a few of the benefits of camping.
We now have a travel trailer with the luxuries like heat/ac, a queen size bed and our own bathroom. Don't get me wrong tent camping is fun but it is not for me anymore.
Ways to save money while camping:
Make breakfast in the morning
Pack lunch for the day.
Go for hikes (they are free)
Ride your bikes (again free)
Cook dinner over the fire
Have family time while roasting Marshmallows andtelling stories
Take food like spaghetti, pancakes, trail mix, PB&J
Play games (free)
While in the car play I Spy or other games to occupy the time
There are many other great ideas to save money while on vacation. Enjoying your time with your family is the most important part of vacation so don't worry about the money and go camping!
