But it doesn't need to break the bank. There are many places to find coupons for hotels and motels.

This is my experience airline schedules and fares and I must insist you do some research before adopting any of the ideas here. This is my perspective and I hope it can help you to find affordable and appropriate airline schedules and fares lodging while you are on the road.
Camping out with a family can be an important memory building for the family. Take plenty of photos so you will have memories to share for years to come. Even if you go camping often, these memories airline schedules and fares are going to be treasures for a long time (especially for younger children).
As I have been traveling during fire warning season I've noticed more and more campgrounds are restricting the use of campfire or are making them prohibited. So, while you are camping you are going to want to carry along a camp stove that will be the right size for the number airline schedules and fares of people you are cooking for.
But it doesn't need to break the bank. There are many places to find coupons for hotels and motels. I found coupon books at rest areas, welcome centers, tourist information offices, and once right in the lobby of the motel I was hoping to stay at.
Coupons often have expiration dates and location restrictions as well as blackout dates. So, while I was driving all around the country I would hope to stay in a motel when these restrictions were not an issue. Otherwise the campground is perhaps the best choice.
I have saved as much as $40 on a room by using a coupon. Which was a great discount since I was on a really airline schedules and fares tight budget for the journey. My road trip spanned over two months so I was in need of a room occasionally airline schedules and fares (in between staying airline schedules and fares in camp grounds, with friends or family, or a few hours sleeping in my car -- see 'when you need a nap' later on this page)
camping on a road trip sounds like a lot of fun! Every day an adventure - although I'm not sure I'm up for the tent life... I'd be willing to give it a shot again. Camping when I was a kid was such great times!
