National parks offer some of the most stunning landscapes in the world, and camping is one of the most affordable ways to experience them. While national park campsites typically range from $10 to $35 per night, free camping options are available on public lands near park boundaries. Apps like iOverlander and FreeCampsites.net are invaluable for finding these spots.
The America the Beautiful Pass, which costs $80 per year, provides access to all U.S. national parks, saving money on entrance fees. Parks like Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Zion offer free ranger-led programs and hiking trails, ensuring visitors can enjoy incredible experiences without additional costs.
