Answer
My favorite place to camp is Lake Cachuma. It has everything you need not like some campground that are not secured this place is huge and it a safe place to camp... Not so long ago a heard that a person was killed in one of the local camp grounds. when I'm at lake cachuma I don't worry.
Each Camp site has running water so you can rinse off dishes.
Each camp site is huge with room enough for 3 tents and two cars so that you can bring a bunch of friends along. This place has flushing toilets as well as pay showers that have hot water. The lake also have boats for rent and you can also fish the down side is that you can't go into the lake but they do have two swimming pools.
You can also go exploring they have Indian painted caves... A casino is not too far away, Solvang and wineries are not too far away.
but the best part of this place they do no allow loud music after midnight so for me that cool because to don't have loud druggies that didn't pay for the spot next to you blaring loud music till 4 am.

I need advice on a road trip/camping trip out West.?

This summer my boyfriend and I are going to be making a drive from the Midwest to California. We are looking to see as much as possible while being completely cost effective. We are hoping to hit a lot of the national parks and any other beautiful places and exciting cities along the way. Furthermore, in order to save money, we are looking to camp along the way in designated camp grounds rather than spend every night in a hotel.

I'm looking for any kind of tips or advice you might have to offer... tips on camping every night, any campgrounds you'd recommend, tips on budgeting, national parks or other cool things to check out.

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. We're trying to explore this beautiful country we live in without totally going broke (we're two poor college students)

Thanks!

As far as camping goes think Free as much as possible - Many federal lands like National Forests and BLM lands allow for free camping in non-regulated areas (off the road in areas that are not regular campgrounds).
Some National Parks will also have free camping - for instance there is a primative campground at the west end of Badlands National Park that is free - they have a few picnic tables and toilets, but little else. Except the buffalo which may pass close nearby.
Also some towns will have free public camping areas - Brush, Colorado has such a site and its a good day's drive from where I live which makes it perfect. You just gotta do some research.

A good tent that pops up quickly and closes quickly will be helpful. Pack food and a propane stove so you can get your food done quickly. Check survival stores for rations that can be made adding a little hot water to the package. Some are not bad, but you might want to sample a few.

There's a lot to see out there. I would suggest going out through South Dakota (Badlands, Mt Rushmore, Devils Tower just over the border), Yellowstone is a must and you should take a few days to see it (its a lot more than geysers). Down through Jackson Hole, WY and into Utah - Utah is amazing...the whole state should be just one big National Park.
A lot depends on whre you are headed to in CA, and if you are also making a return trip. You could possibly go down via Zion Natl Park, past Vegas and Death Vally, up through CA and back via I-70 through Colorado (stopping at Arches Natl Park in UT and up along the Colorado River through Vail...
I wish you good luck.
