Top Cheap Vacation Ideas
 
Go Camping
One of the best options for a budget vacation is to go camping. Drive down to an unknown place and camp there for free. Put up a large tent, lie and stray around on the banks of the lake or look around for a hiking spot. You can also book a hiking lodge if you can afford to spend a few bucks. Carry your sleeping bags, put up a barbeque cooking some succulent dinner, and indulge yourself into loads of fun activities.
 
Visit The Beach
Some beach areas and authorities allow you to camp on their premises or stay in budget priced lodging. They usually offer you a kitchenette, allowing you to prepare your own meals, thereby saving on junk and costly hotel expenses.
 
Multi-Family Vacation
If you have friends or family members who too are planning for a budget vacation around the same time as you, why not plan a clubbed budget holiday? This will automatically cut down your entire vacation expenses. You can share the costs of lodging, food, and even activity expenses. Look out for a time-share rental or cabin that accommodates several people.
 
Exchange Homes
Home swapping is a common activity in different parts of the world. This means, you would be living in someone else’s home while they would be living in yours. For a change, you would be living in an entirely different place with a different kitchen, different yard for kids, different laundry facilities. All these services are offered to you at no extra cost.
 
Take A Cruise
Most cruise lines offer attractive deals to first time travelers. This could just be one of those budget vacations that you and your family are looking out for. Further, shorter cruise lengths will be less expensive than compared to those lasting for more than a week. Go, grab one of them!
 
Cycling and Backpacking
Are you one of the adventure or nature lovers? Then, why not opt for some exercising activities during your vacation break? Hop onto your bicycle and ride all the way to your destination carrying all your belongings in your backpack. Stop at one of the national parks that offer tourists to ride and camp at low budgets. If you love fishing, choose to camp near a lake or river for your meals. Exciting and enjoying, isn’t it?
