Feature of budget car travel

A feature of budget travel by car is an evening adventure of finding places to sleep. If on a bike you can turn off the road anywhere and set up a tent camp anywhere, feeling calm and wonderful there, then by car you need to find a suitable parking spot. Here, according to the principle “Everything that is not prohibited is allowed” we scanned rest area for signs prohibiting night parking. If there is no such thing, then we stayed, Lesya’s mother slept in the tent with the child, and the rest of the team went to look for places for two tents. As a rule, there are no hidden places at such parking lots, so we just parked at the edge, and this is no longer legal, so we woke up at dawn and pretended that nothing had happened.

Also on the map of the States there are quite a lot of green areas marked “National forest”, in the territory of these forests it is legal to park a car, set up a campground and burn fires, the main thing is to do this away from the road.

On the territory of national parks, we found an official camping, parked a car there, put up a tent after sunset, when the rangers had already left, and collected at dawn, thus saving a fortune.
