Urban camping

In my opinion, traveling is not expensive, spending a night at a hotel ( even the cheapest one ) is. There is always an option to stay at a hostel or a camping site, but even there you will have to pay a small fee.

What if you could pitch your tent anywhere you want ? Like this car tent designed to look like a car cover



Well, of course, you'll have to pay those outrageous city parking fees :)

Here is another great idea from Belgian architects - a mobile multi-level tower that allows for tents to be pitched in urban settings.



Looks great, and I'm sure the view from the top tent is amazing ! Though a mid night bathroom trip might be a little inconvenient...

And the last option ? WallMart parking lots ! It was my home for 3 month last year living out of my Subaru...

Check out this video, it's pretty funny!

Don't forget many casinos also have complimentary rv/vehicle camping, couple that with a $5 'flying J' shower, and you have nirvana.

That's true, sometimes you can "stay" on casinos' parking lots, but often, they have security patrols who will hustle you to "leave the property".
Good idea about truck stops, but you can also take free showers at any big campgrounds...

The "car tent" makes me smile and shake my head. I'm so a hotel girl!
