We utilize state parks as much as possible, which helps. In Michigan, we have a ton of state parks with campgrounds, but it has gotten to the point at the more popular parks that you better be ready on the keyboard at 8 am 6 months in advance to get it booked. I don’t mind, it’s a game to me. As far as private parks, only one or two times per year, though I expect that to increase some as we start traveling cross country more. It’s still, currently, cheaper than a good hotel and eating all your meals out. As far as fuel costs, meh. Airline prices are even crazier so it’s just a different expense. In the end, we enjoy it and will adapt and continue camping. I’m currently working on the DW to put a nice solar system on the rig so we can cut campground costs to zero and boondock a little more, but she’s not there. Yet.
