Thank you, Gail! Safe and sunny travels! 🙂
I’m renewing my objection again to describing anything at $40+/per night as “affordable”. Are there really no parks in the $30-35 range that you could promote? $40/night at a county fairgrounds? That’s “affordable”? Please change the name of this feature to something other than “affordable”. Sheesh!
Tamarak? They have the 10 year rule. Swell if you are a sardine.
County Fairgrounds just up the road, much better!
You know the best way to save money on “camping” is to take that money you would spend on parking next to your neighbors so you can get FHU invest it into making your rig more self contained and really camp in all the BLM natural wonders this vast country offers for free!!! Think that it’s too expensive or impractical to do that you’re wrong. My first solar system complete was a 300w renogy very simple to install cost $250. That’s about 7 nights stay at a cheap FHU parking lot. I’ve also added lithium batteries and portable panels and increased fresh water and grey water capabilities by 50% cost=$30 bucks and a diesel heater $105 (Amazing). Think inside the box.
