We're a couple of years out from moving to a full-timing lifestyle and, after working through the income side of things, the budgets people have posted online are very helpful for the expense side.
I'm a bit concerned with the campground costs. At this time, I think we'll start out moving maybe three times a month for 6 months a year and then land close to "home" for the rest of the year. During the longer side of things I can see us paying under $400 a month.
When I look at the areas we'd like to explore during the gypsy six months I see lots of campgrounds that would cost us $30-$35 a night, even with 10 day stays. I see people talking about corps of engineers campgrounds, etc. and they might be just right, but we do want to do some serious sightseeing during those earlier gypsy months of our full-timing. Do I need to budget up over $800 a month during those travels or will we be able to find nice (I'm not talking about high end resorts or anything like that) reasonably priced, 10 nights or so stay campgrounds in, say the New England portion of the country?
Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.
