camping

For many people, paying for a camp site isn’t an issue. They decide to go for the real camping experience and opt for free camping instead.

On the surface, this seems to be a much better option. After all, it’s definitely cheaper. Free camping isn’t always the bargain that it seems you may find you have to make some sacrifices.

Some Cities And Towns Offer Free Camping

I live in Texas and Texas has many free city parks and campgrounds. Most except donations and it’s good to donate as some even supply electricity.

You May Have To Rough It

Most camp sites come equipped with hot showers, toilet blocks, a store packed with food and provisions, and much more. When you decide to save money and choose free camping, this is what you’ll be giving up.

Yet as enthusiasts will tell you, you’ll gain far more and be much closer to nature and simple living by choosing to camp for free.

Make Sure You’re Camping Legally

This is the number one rule for free camping. It’s not as easy as just choosing a nice looking spot and pitching your tent for the night. Different countries have different rules and requirements regarding free camping, so make sure you find out which areas allow you to camp for free, and which ones to steer clear of.

The internet is your biggest and best resource for finding locations to enjoy free camping. This also applies if you have a caravan or an RV instead of a tent. When it comes to free camping, it definitely pays to do your research before you leave home. It will save you from getting into trouble by pitching your tent where you’re not supposed to, or being on the road and being unable to find anywhere to stay.

Remember The Boy Scout Motto!! Be Prepared

Make sure you take essentials like a fully charged cell phone in case you need help, and a first aid kit.

This is extremely important if you are going to camp out in the middle of nowhere, especially for the first time. 

Always tell someone where you are going, and when you plan to be back. If you are going on a long trip and staying somewhere different each night, arrange to call someone every day or so to let them know you are okay.

There’s nothing quite like sleeping under the stars every night, and when you’re doing it for real and far away from a camp site, you’re bound to find it’s a life changing experience. Free camping can show you a whole nother world.
