i'm planning a road trip for my senior trip. it will be with 4 -6 total in the group. i want to last about 2-3 weeks. not sure how to pull it off for cheap. i live in Louisiana and am planning on driving through Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi then returning home. not sure exactly what to see and do and we're planning on staying in tent at national camp sites if possible. any suggestions and help would be much appreciated
Answer
Planning on a 2-3 week road trip and covering 11 states seems to be a bit overwhelming. I'd try to narrow the trip down and either head toward Texas, New Mexico and Colorado or head east toward Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. For me, I'd even narrow it down and just make the trip to Colorado. There is a lot to see in that state. Even with living in campgrounds, you'll be too tired driving or even see the sites and you gas bill would be out of sight, Pick just a few states and relax. Narrow down the list of states, check with your friends and find out what they would like to see. Look on he Internet and also in state guides for information of historic sites, parks, etc. Your trip will probably be in Summer, so traveling in the Texas area might be pretty hot.
To save money on your trip, a camp site is a good idea. Also, so not forget to carry perishable foods in an ice chest and cook most of your own meals. Eating out can obviously be expensive. Some national park camp sites might be crowded especially during the summer months. When you decide what states you will visit, make reservations or bring a campsite directory for the state you will be visiting. You can often fine books like this in any large bookstore. It goes without saying that give your car a good checkup-maintenance, carry spare water and oil and check the inflation on your tires. Also bring a camera or two. Have fun.

Where can I go camping in Louisiana?

I just want to go camping. WIth tents, and a fire pit to cook, and sleep on the ground. I don't want RV spots, or wi-fi internet, but that's all I seem to be able to find. I just want to go camping in the wilderness! Please any help, even just a web site to search on!
Answer
Ah, the great outdoors! Louisiana does have lots of 'wilderness' areas, but unfortunately most wilderness that's not developed is either private or state property. According to your profile, I see you live in or near New Orleans. There are a few good places near you, that might suit you.
Fairview Riverside State Park in Madisonville, LA. Just drive north across the Causeway and follow the signs. Fairview has RV spots, but they *also* have primitive campsites, too. The primitives are a bit away from the RV sites. Fairview also has nice bath house facilities. It is located on bank of the Tchefuncte River, with great river access. There are also miles of hiking trails here, including a boardwalk path near the river.
You may also want to check out Fountainbleu State Park, which is a few miles east of Fairview SP. Fountainbleu is officially in Mandeville. It's a bigger park than Fairview, and it's situated on Lake Pontchartrain. I believe they also offer primitive campsites. And they have miles of hiking trails as well. Fountainbleu used to have a swimming pool, but i'm not sure if it's still there, or maintained.
Both places may suit your purposes.
