A lot of time and effort can go into planning an RV or camping trip. You must decide where you want to go, what to do when you get there, what to eat, and how much it will cost.
Cost. Wouldn't it be nice if it didn't cost so much? After food, fuel, and gear, you can still expect extra fees when you reach your destination.
However, for two weekends this summer, Public Lands Day and Veteran's Day, the National Park Service is waiving entrance fees, commercial tour fees, and transportation entrance fees at 162 national parks in an effort to boost tourism. You may still have to pay for reservations, camping, and use of concessions, but hey, if you're interested in paying less for your family vacation, read on.
"During these tough economic times," says Ken Salazar, Secretary of the Interior "our national parks provide opportunities for affordable vacations for families." To sweeten the deal, select parks are providing a variety of discounts on retail, activities, tours, and more.
At CampingRoadTrip.com, we encourage you to take advantage of this offer. We want to know all about your trip, see your photos, and read your reviews so submit your photos, review your campgrounds and share your stories.
Mark your calendars for fee-free weekends and days later this year:
- June 5-6, 2010
- August 14-15, 2010
- September 25, 2010 (Public Lands Day)
- November 11, 2010 (Veterans Day)
