Finding parks along the road is no problem. Some tips: Move on Sun-Thurs rather than Friday or Saturday. Arrive at next destination early (before 4pm). Call ahead to make sure they have vacancy. Also good to arrive before dark for safety reasons if you travel alone. I would not feel safe boondocking alone. Price will depend on the type of campground and location. We use city, county, state and Federal or Corps of Engineers campgrounds. We also use discount cards like Passport America, Good Sam and KOA. For Federal campgrounds if you are eligible, get the America the Beautiful senior or disabled pass to use at Federal parks or Corps of Engineers Campgrounds. You can locate these campgrounds on www.recreation.gov Using a combination of state, corps of engineers and commercial campgrounds we usually average $30-$35 per night for campgrounds. In popular tourist areas it can run up to $100 per night for commercial campgrounds. Just shop around. I use Google Maps for routing, www.woodalls.com for finding campgrounds. www.rvparkreviews.com for campground reviews and CoPilot app for GPS. FMCA and Good Sam have chapters for singles.
