Looking for a place to camp for free?

I'm going to be driving from San Diego to Chicago next month and I thought that it would be fun and a good way to save money if I simply brought a tent and camped out rather than paying for hotel rooms along the way. I was hoping to find places where I can pitch my tent for free if possible. I am also active duty military, so I don't know if that will help get me into certain parks for cheap? Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks!

Answer
I drove from Denver to Iowa and camped every 300 miles along the way at state parks. If you investigate National Forests from San Diego to Chicago, you can go dispersed camping up almost any Forest Service road for free, reasonably close to the I-70 corridor, then go up to I-80 across Nebraska and Iowa to Illinois. National Forest campgrounds are usually primitive, without running water. However, you can find recreation centers in Eagle, Silverthorne, and Breckenridge, in Central Colorado, for example, where you can pay a reasonable entry fee for a shower, swim, and hot tub.

The state parks east of the Rocky Mountains only cost about $20 per night and usually will have showers. There are many state parks along the Platte River. Prairie Rose State Park in western Iowa is a great place to stay over, with showers near the RV section at the entrance to the park.
