<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nFamily one bought a tent for $68, they are a family of 4 so the tent they bought is a four-person tent. They don’t want all their money to be spent on an expensive tent so they decided to get a decent but inexpensive tent for under $70.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Explanation: A typical 2-person tent will cost between $30 and $50 but that does mean you can’t get one for $100: while a typical 4-person tent will cost between $35 and $100 but that does mean you can’t get one for $200 and the list goes on. What I am trying to say is if you are like the first family I mean if you are on a tight budget, try to keep things unfancy and simple.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Sleeping bag<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nFamily one has bought one 25\u00b0 rated double sleeping bag for the parents for $35 and 2 small size sleeping bags for the kids for $20 each, which adds up to a total of $75 for sleeping bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Explanation: The price of sleeping bags varies a lot, there is one sold for $20 and there is another sold for $500 this wild price range is due to many factors from temperature ranting, size, material to the brand of the sleeping bag. What you have to know is you don’t need a $500 sleeping bag if you aren’t going to climb Everest or if you aren’t hiking through the Rocky mountains just a simple sleeping bag will do.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Food<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nFamily one has spent $2 per-person on breakfast which adds up to $8 for 4 people, and for 3 days it will be $24 for breakfast, While for lunch and dinner the family has spent $2.5 per person which is $10 dollars for 4 people which adds up to $30 for lunch and $30 for dinner too, which is a total of $84 for food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Explanation: While camping food should not be the biggest priority because you might not get what you expected, the average amount of money people spend while camping ranges between $2-$10per meal it can sometimes increase sometimes decrease that depends on the camper.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Transportation<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nFamily one spends $20 on transportation, they arrived at the campground with their car with a total of $10 on gas and the same when going back to their home so they spent a total of $20 on gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Explanation: Transportation is not a thing to explain to, you might travel with a 1-hour drive or you might go with with a plane to your destination, so this depends from person to person what you want and your budget and it is obvious that to decrease the cost shortening the distance between the campground and your house is crucial. There might be a campground which is close to your place and there is one that is 100 miles distance far from your house better than the campground which is located in your city which is 10 miles far from your house anyways choose what is best for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Activities<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nAs you know family one is a minimalist family, they don’t spend money on things that much but the whole purpose of camping is to have fun so they took somethings to spice things up, a roll-up a chessboard for $15, a soccer ball for $12, and monopoly for $13 which adds up to a total of $40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Explanation: it is not a must that you have to buy to have fun especially while you are camping, you can keep it simple and inexpensive. You can even have fun in nature playing around if there is a river around your campground that is great even if not, just having fun in the wilderness is more than anything in my opinion.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Conclusion on the minimalist family<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nFamily one totally spent a little over $400 for a full camping trip you can as well do that if you are careful enough on the things you can buy and always keep in mind that there are cheap things with high quality, for them it might be $412 but you can do it under $600 for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation: In summertime campgrounds charge more(including both RV and cabin rental) if you want to spend less on that you can choose other seasons, but there isn’t much difference but some dollars. you can find a decent place to camp for around $50\/per day on any season and any place of your choice.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Tent<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nFamily two has bought a 6 person tent $140, which is an average price for a 6 person tent. They bought a breathable tent because they were camping in the summer season and they wanted some ventilation in their tent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Explanation: It is not always the case but buying a bigger tent is nice because there isn’t much difference in the price anyways it is like getting an extra room for just some extra bucks. And what you have to know is depending on the season there are some different choices you can have like in this case a breathable tent. I would say you to expect anything from $100 to $150 for a decent 6 person tent.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Sleeping bag+pad<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nSecond family they are a family of five and they bought on 40\u00b0+ rated double sleeping bag for the husband and wife for $60; 30\u00b0+ rated double sleeping bag for the two kids for $40 and another toddler sleeping bag for the toddler for $30 which is total of $130. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second thing they have got is a sleeping pad which is crucial if you want the comfort of a bed in a sleeping bag. What they did was get two double sleeping pads for $55 each and for the toddler they used soft fabric as a sleeping pad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Explanation: We have talked about the lower end of sleeping bags on the last family, here let us talk about the average cost of a sleeping bag. An average single sleeping bag is sold around $35-75, an average double sleeping bag is $50-$120. When we come to sleeping pads, they have a wide-ranging price just like sleeping bags, the high-end ones tend to be more comfortable, but generally, they are on the ballpark with sleeping bags.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Food<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nFamily two has spent $3 per-person on breakfast which adds up to $8 for 4 people and for 3 days it will be $36 on breakfast. While for lunch and dinner, the family has spent $3.5 per person which is $14 for 4 people which adds up to $42 for lunch and also for dinner, and they have bought some snacks for $20. total of $140 for 4 of them. Not to forget they have a toddler who needs milk and tiny food which they spent on that $15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Explanation: The best to save money on food while camping is cooking it by yourself, not only you save money but it also is more healthy. The problem is cooking by yourself needs time and effort and you also want a stove to cook with, most people prefer this than taking packed foods especially people camp in groups, but that is your choice.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Transportation<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nFamily two used their own car to go to their destination with a total of $70 on gas, they have more than average on transportation because the campground is far from their house. They could have traveled by plane which would be less energy taking but it would be super expensive for 5 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Explanation: As I have said there isn’t much to talk about transportation cost, it is easy to guess for you depending on what transportation system you’re going to use and the distance you are going to travel.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Activities<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nFamily two has bought books for $27, a bow and arrow for $73, and finally a double hammock for $50 they have spent a total of $150 on activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Explanation: As I have said there isn\u2019t much to talk about transportation cost, it is easy to guess for you depending on what transportation system you are going to use and the distance you are going to travel.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Conclusion on the average family<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nThe second family has spent below $1200 which is an average cost for beginner campers the reason I said beginner if you have the gear to start with you can spend way less than that. But assuming that you are a beginner and you like things average you can expect anything from $900-$1500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
