I have wanted to go on a road trip for a while, just driving off to nearby towns in my hatchback and exploring. I’d start small, like a day or three. The main thing holding me back is uncertainty of what to bring and how to do it, amongst other issues. I think I can figure out the food and sleep, but I was wondering:
- Where to access showers?
- Where to refill water?
- Is it worth bringing a tent (could I set it up outside of a campsite)?
- Where can I park when I need to sleep (that I won’t get in trouble for)?
- Am I missing anything else?
Was hoping some of you might have advice. I don’t have a whole lot of good people to go to about this IRL.
Edit: Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to respond!
Freecampsites.net to look up free camping spots in the area. It’s based on user submissions and reviews. Very handy for planning road trips. There may be some inaccuracies if you take a chance on a location that doesn’t have many reviews or none that are recent, so keep that in mind.
