Plug for FreeCampground.com
I would like to make a plug for Freecampgrounds.com. If you come across an inexpensive ($10.00 or less) take a moment and let everyone know.
I use this primarily when I am traveling and need an overnight RV park, not for a destination.

RVers have different camping needs at different times. Our mission is not to promote free places to spend a night at the expense of RV parks or public campgrounds. We acknowledge, however, that there are times when a free stay makes sense — when an RVer is too tired to go on, and/or there is no official campground nearby — or when a small town offers a complimentary stay in its city park. There are also many "boondocking" sites throughout the USA, often in the desert or in out-of-the-way area where RVers may stay for free. Some government agencies — the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, to name two, still offer free camping in some areas they administer.
We know that many RVers stay the night in parking lots including those of Wal-Mart stores. We do not encourage these stays, and we advise our readers that when they do stay to never do so for more than one night except in an emergency. These are not campgrounds, just convenient stops to get some sleep and then move on. We disapprove strongly of RVers who stay longer than one consecutive night or use commercial parking lots exclusively for their "camping."
We advise our readers to avoid staying in rest areas. Most times there will be no problem. But we have heard some horror stories.
The purpose of this website is to identify places where RVers are welcome to legally stay a night for free or for less than $10. We hope that our readers will choose to stay most times in public and private campgrounds, nearly all of which offer far more desirable settings and service than unofficial freebie or cheapie locations.
