“Budget” and “vacation” are two words that are challenging to put together for many families. Vacation expenses can add up quickly, especially when you’re planning one for the whole family. However, planning a family getaway is essential. Family vacations are once in a lifetime opportunities to make memories with your kids and to take time to relax and reconnect as a family.
Don’t keep putting your vacation off until next year, and don’t feel like you have to limit yourself to a stay-cation. With a little creativity and a bit of planning, you and your family can have a fun-filled vacation that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.
Chances are, you will always be money-conscious. Budgets are wonderful tools that help us keep our finances in shape.
You don’t have to get another credit card or take out a second mortgage to plan a vacation. It just takes some smart thinking and a few savvy vacation-planning tricks. Here are some tips you can use to ensure you and your family have the perfect, budget-friendly family vacation.
The family that saves together stays together. As you start working out your vacation details, let your kids know what’s going on. Tell them you want this getaway to be as fun as possible, but that you will have to work together to keep on budget. For example, that may mean limiting souvenirs in favor of enjoying more experiences together.
Don’t just hop in the car and hope that the money you’ve put aside will be enough. Plan, plan and plan some more. Decide where you want to go and keep the kids in the loop so you know your trip will be something you’ll all enjoy.
Planning where you will stay ahead of time is another excellent way to save some green. You’ll find cheaper rates when you book lodging and activities early.
If you’re willing to stray from the ordinary, you’ll find many adventurous alternatives to the traditional hotel room. Not only will they make your vacation more memorable, but many of these options are low-cost alternatives.
For those who love the great outdoors, camping is an inexpensive option that will thrill your kids. No matter where you go, chances are there’s a fun campground nearby. You can opt for traditional tent camping, or try something new. Many KOA campgrounds offer other lodging options like Camping Cabins and even unique lodging options like Glamping Tents, Airstreams and more.
Get the biggest bang for your buck by staying somewhere that includes family activities.
If you stay at a campground includes a pool, a playground or other fun activities like a basketball court, that’s extra family fun at no additional cost. These free activities can fill the time when you’re not visiting an attraction that costs money.
Eating out is expensive. Multiply the cost of a meal by the number of family members you have, and many families end up spending more on food than any other aspect of their vacation. With that in mind, finding a place where you can cook your own meals will save you a boatload.
If you’re camping, you can cook up some yummy recipes over the campfire. You can also look for a Deluxe Cabin that has a kitchenette. Although smaller than your home kitchen, a kitchenette usually includes everything you need to make a great meal.
If you’re looking to plan an affordable family vacation on a budget, KOA campgrounds offer the perfect option. We’re here to ensure you and your family have a great time while also saving you money.
Many of our campgrounds include exciting activities the whole family will enjoy, like rock climbing walls, swimming pools and more fun features. Plus, you can cook your meals over the campfire at one of our Tent Sites or get your own private kitchenette when you reserve certain Deluxe Cabins.
With campgrounds all over the U.S., we offer incredible savings that you and your vacation budget will love. Make your reservation today for the best family vacation that fits any budget.
That doesn't mean this area has to always be empty. When you start reviewing camping options, your history will display here to help compare sites and find the best stay. You will be able to share your stay information with friends or family and save it for a later time if you have a KOA Account.
Make checkout easy by booking all your reservations at once. Add your sites from different campgrounds into your shopping cart* and then choose checkout.
