Traveling in a van offers a variety of parking and sleeping options, each with differing prices:
- Campsites: Free to $30 per night.
- Business Parking: Some, like Walmarts and Cracker Barrels, allow free overnight parking, while others may impose fees.
- Public Land: Options such as Bureau of Land Management land are free, but may not be conveniently located.
- RV Parks: The costliest option, ranging from $40 to $100 per night, often providing amenities like showers and WiFi.
For example, one RV park stay cost about $60, the highest single-night expense on a two-week trip. Budget-friendly travelers often lean toward cheaper campsites to balance costs.
