The benefit of knowing other van dwellers is that word spreads of good places to camp. Campsite costs vary. For example, California state parks along the coast run about $45/night for sites with tables, faire rings, water, bathrooms and showers.Sites with RV hookups are more. Meanwhile, campsites at Joshua Tree National Park are $10 to $15/night for sites with tables, fire rings and vault toilets, no water. A mile from where we're currently camped is a state run campground that's park of a regional camping pass program where for $75/year you can camp at several places. And there are the BLM-run Long Term Visitor Areas where a $180 season pass allows you to use any of the several LTVAs in AZ and CA from September through March. Or there's the less attractive deal of $40 for two weeks. But if you don't need water and dump stations, there's free BLM land nearby with the usual 14-day limit.Al Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12097190974559622416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703583432502029443.post-20134636855827930912014-01-21T16:12:40.327-08:002014-01-21T16:12:40.327-08:00Roll up your jeans.
