You don't necessarily have to miss this year's vacation if you have less resources than you've had before. There are plenty of U.S. destinations that can accommodate travelers on a budget, particularly for those that want to save money on hotel and lodging costs, and must-see attractions that won't break the bank. - Denver, Colorado, supports budget conscious travelers with its alternative travel accommodations and activities. Camping in Denver is not only budget-friendly, but places travelers in the heart of Colorado's beautiful landscapes--the Rockies. Many campgrounds offer lodging with free services such as RV water/electricity to basic modern amenities. Plus, Denver--according to Wildernet--is world-renown for fishing and hunting in its state parks, all free activities with appropriate licenses.
- San Antonio is the home of Tex-Mex food--an authentic southwestern-style cuisine that attracts tourists from all over the nation, according to Excelle, a networking website. Tex Mex restaurants are not only affordable, but are dispersed throughout the city, making them easily accessible by way of trolleys. San Antonio is a city full of historical attractions like The Alamo and the original settlement of San Antonio--La Villita, all of which are free to see. Plus, the city's public park--San Antonio River Walk--is open all year round, hosting free events, craft shows, and an on-site water park that offers free parking.
- San Diego has much to offer travelers on a budget. Since San Diego has a primarily temperate climate, it makes for an ideal summer vacation with its 70 miles of coastal beach recreation that is totally free. Balboa Park is home to museums that honor free admission on Tuesdays as well as free daily admittance into its botanical gardens. Families may purchase the park's budget-friendly packages which gives weekly passes into the ever-popular San Diego Zoo and area museums.
