Great ideas,
I line in Ontario Canada and we have some great Provicial Parks for camping. Getting up north in the wild – well semi-wild is great. Lilarney Provincial Park has many great leaks for canoing and fishing. It’s very peaceful and not very expensive

Thanks, Eric. I’m glad you like the tips. This was one of my favorite posts to write, mainly because I actually do all of these things regularly.

I really like these tips – a gang of us recently drove up to Seattle for a weekend – by doing only a few of the things you recommend, we were able to have a blast while spending relatively little money.

Thanks for your comment, Connie. Camping is great…it’s a shame it’s gotten too hot (for me) to do it here in Texas.

These are good ideas. My husband and I love to camp out. Not only is it cheap, there is not much more romantic than toasting marshmallows and going for a midnight swim.

Good point about the cabins too. Sometimes vacations are a lot more fun when you bring friends along!

Great ideas! We are heading up north with my father-in-law and brother-in-law for a weekend at the family cabin. Gas is the biggest expenditure (5 hr drive, mostly freeway). We’ve got 4 wheelers up there that we take out on the trails for day trips, which cost very little to fill up, and I’m bringing lots of homemade snacks with us for the ride so we aren’t stuck eating junk from gas stations!
