3 Ways to Save Money On Your Next Family Camping Trip

3 Ways to Save Money On Your Next Family Camping Trip

In 2013, approximately 40.1 million Americans went camping. This beloved pastime may appeal to a lot of families who want to forgo an expensive getaway, but the truth is that camping expenses can really add up if you aren’t paying attention. It can be a challenge to stay on budget for your family vacations, but if you visit the best family campgrounds IL. has to offer, it’ll probably be easier than you think. Below, you’ll find three simple ways to get back to nature without breaking the bank.

    1. Borrow or Buy Used Camping Gear
      Of course, you’ll need proper camping gear to make sure your next family camping trip will be enjoyable. That doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to buy it brand new. If you have friends who often travel to local camping sites, ask if they could loan you some gear you might not already have. Alternatively, you can buy lightly used camping gear for a fraction of the original price. Yard and garage sales, as well as Facebook and Craigslist ads, are a great place to start. Be sure to test your gear out before you leave.
    2. Plan and Make Meals in Advance
      If you’re staying at one of our Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Parks, (the best campgrounds IL has to provide) whether you have access to a kitchen or plan to cook over a campfire, it may be to your benefit to make your meals ahead of time. If you wait until the last minute to buy your food for your trip, you’ll end up paying more and will probably have to eat more processed foods than you’d ideally like to. Make your meals (or components of your meals) ahead of time so that all you’ll have to do is heat them when it’s time to eat.
    3. Choose a Budget-Friendly Site
      At CampJellystone.com, we understand how difficult it can be for families to afford a vacation. That’s why we offer several tiers of options for families to choose from, as well as additional amenities you and your kids will love. From tents to deluxe cabins, we have all kinds of family fun to choose from. We even have military discounts for veterans! You’ll soon see why our camp-resorts are the best of all the campgrounds IL has throughout the state.
