Best low cost vacation ideas: research those bed and breakfasts around your area. Sometimes they aren't as expensive as those big hotels...and they are a lot friendlier!

The best low-cost vacation idea is to go camping in a park or beach because you get to enjoy nature while saving money.

I have to echo the sentiments of many others and say that the best low-cost vacations usually combine road trips and camping. Luckily almost every state features amazing state park facilities for families, and you don't have to own an RV to enjoy them, and for the especially adventurous, national parks like Yosemite or Yellowstone (where I'm going with my family) are surprisingly affordable and worthwhile. For my money's worth, time spent together bonding in the car and at the campground trumps any expensive luxury trip!

The best, low cost vactation idea is to stay home and explore the opportunities and sites near your house. It will be enjoyable and, of course, its will save hotel costs, gasoline, wear and tear on car and tires, expensive food bills, etc. It doesn't have to be absolute. For example, you can stay at a bed and breakfast or inn near your house. It will be fun and enjoyable while still saving on all the other aspects of a vacation away from home.

The cheapest vacation for our family is visiting family that lives out of state. We make the drive and stop at a few scenic routes and stay at our relatives home. No hotel cost.
By Janice,

The best low cost vacation for my family is a beach vacation. We live in Miami so we don't have to travel very far. We can stay at a time share for about 500 a week and cook our own meals. A weeklong vacation can be as little as $700 for a family of 5.

Traveling with the in-laws has made our vacations a lot less expensive -- they always want to help out and buy things for their grandkids :-)
By Ann,

I like looking for vacation guidebooks at the local library. Great research tools, not necessarily tied to advertising like web sites tend to be.

We live near St. Louis with a free zoo, wildlife sanctuary, and fantastic Botanical Garden. The sta-cation is a great alternative to travel (and a huge money-saver).
By Sherri,
From Concord
Our low cost vacations involve road trips to visit distant friends and/or relatives. We try to squeeze in one or two nights in an inexpensive hotel each way, but most of our trips include free accommodations. We also spend months before signing up for newsletters and e-mail clubs for restaurants in the areas we plan to visit so we can eat as inexpensively as possible also.
By Michelle,
From Cleveland
Usually in the winter, we head to the next town over and rent a room at a hotel with an indoor pool. We pack a ton of snacks and order a pizza and rent one of the in-room movies. It's a cheap mini-vacation for us.

I like the idea of a "staycation". You can either stay home and relax or take a day trip to a local place. Low cost but fun :)

Our best low cost vacation idea is day trips. We'll plan a few for during the summer of places that are close to home. We'll visit the park, beach, amusement park and make them day trips. Our kids really love the park the best, plus we'll bring lunch and have a picnic.

I think the best low-cost vacation idea is a Staycation where you stay in the local area but volunteer somewhere - maybe a forest preserve or national park if you like being outdoors and the weather is nice. The kids would have so much fun too!
By Rita,
From Central California
Check out your city's website... you may discover places to visit or tour that you never even thought about. Often times large manufacturers have factory tours and sometimes free samples (depending on what they make). It can be both educational & fun!
By sandy,

make day trips to local forest..camping areas also camp out in the back yard- kids love it and you can save alot and have a ton of fun
By Marilyn,

My best low cost vacation idea is taking a ride to a park and having a picnic. I love parks that have lakes. Feeding the birds that are swimming in the lake is fun.
