speedytriple Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 So when the heck did tent camping get so expensive? I have been check the state parks and a few other camp grounds. They want $25 and up a night in the state parks and the campgrounds are around $40 a night to TENT camp. Anyone know of any areas that are cheaper to set up a tent for like 4 days at? looking around the hocking hills area, or have also looked around lake hope area.

chevysoldier Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Its been since about 2003, but zaleski was free. Not sure if they have campsites that you can park at or if they are all on the hiking trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidlifeVenture Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 All campgrounds are at least that but it is still cheaper then a cheap Motel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Thanks recon thats the sites I have been looking at already. I think the kao by lake hope wants $40 a night for the six of us to tent camp there. I am a cheap bastid and just can't see spending the price of a cheap hotel room on setting my tent up somewhere.

speedytriple Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 second part to my question is how far away is there somewhere to go shooting? zaleski has the state range posted in another thread which would be nice. Any other place that allows centerfire rifles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pfloydgad Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Well, ok, I'll give you a very well kept secret. Super Wal-Marts will let you camp behind thier stores. I know it sounds nuts, but I have to tell you, it is wonderful.They are open 24 hrs, they have groceries, they have a clean washroom, they have things you need, they have ammunition, if you carry. Just hit up the manager of the store and ask permission. And since you are behind the store, your interaction with the WM people will be limited. You have nothing to lose by asking, all they can say is no, but I have never been turned down, and I have done this in 10 diff. states. JMHO, good luck on your search.Ride safe all.Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
