Many free RV camping areas still available Even though a night at a private RV park will cost you $30 and up these days (often way up), and the cost of public campgrounds is $15 and up, there are still many places where you can stay for free or nearly free.
Discount passes reduce cost of RV overnights Everybody loves a discount. For RVers, a discount on camping fees can make a big difference on how long a road trip will last. When fuel costs get too tight, you can always hunker down and stay a few extra days--unless the camp fees are too heavy. We find a lot of folk new to RVing aren't aware of some fine camping discounts available to those who qualify.
RV Boondocking: You can get power from the wind Solar isn't the only "alternative power" available for those staying in their RVs out in the "boonies." They don't only call the wind "Mariah," they also call it a force for free power. See how you can use the wind to power your RV lifestyle.
RV Boondocking: Where do you get your power? RV boondocking means taking your RV away from "utility" hookups and RV parks. But where do you find the power to make all your "stuff" work? In this post we'll talk about getting your electricity from the sun.
Choices of RV campsites vary greatly Most RVers do not spend every night in an RV park or campground. A campsite in an RV park with full utility hookups, a swimming pool and general store is just one of many options. Here are some others.
What is RV boondocking? Folks unfamiliar with the RV lifestyle are often puzzled by some of the terms: "Fifth wheel, dumping tanks, hitch itch, boondocking?" Boondocking to some means a night spent on a pavement parking lot, while traveling to a favorite RV park.

When Staying at Walmart, Don't Forget Your Etiquette Many of those new to RVing are surprised when they learn that other
RVers actually "stay overnight" at Walmart stores or on the parking
lots of other businesses. It just seems inconceivable. But believe it:
Many Walmart stores find RVers to be excellent sleep-over companions,
after all, next morning they're in to make a few purchases before being
off on their way. Here's a few tips to make your welcome warmer.
Yes, you can camp for free in your RV Cut your RV travel costs by camping for free. The cost of an RV campsite in an RV park or public campground can range from $15 to $45 a night. Locating a a free place to stay is a great way to stretch one's RVing dollars.

Often called a "Navy" shower, this is a technique the Navy uses to decrease the amount of shower water an individual uses. Test it for your RV shower.
RV Campgrounds: Many choices, many price ranges When it comes to finding a campground, RVers have many choices, from
elegant RV parks with swimming pools, saunas, libaries and
entertainment halls, to state parks with limited facilities, to
barebones "boondocking" sites where a level plot of dirt is about all
you'll get. Campsites can cost $50 night or they can be free.
What is boondocking? The terms boondocking and dry camping can mean different things to different RVers, sometimes resulting in confusion. What we really need is a new term for casino and WalMart parking lot stays.
