By investing in at least one camping membership, you get access to campgrounds and you can save a lot of money. Discount cards can help you save on other campgrounds that aren’t included in your membership and allow you to visit different places between stays.
- Find free campsites
You can find free campsites and overnight RV parking more easily than you think! The RV Life and RV Trip Wizare apps can help you find free and affordable camping options.
- Stay months at a time

Full-time RVing means that your fuel usage will increase. There a different ways to save on fuel, including joining a discount club, using the GasBuddy app to find the cheapest gas in a given area, get fuel at Costco, pack light, make sure your RV tire pressure is good and cut down on propane usage.
