Most couples dream of a romantic honeymoon after their wedding.  But, sometimes a fancy vacation to the Caribbean or a Mexican cruise just isn't in everyone's budget.  Many honeymoon packages are very pricey and just plain unaffordable during this economy.  A great way to have a fun, intimate honeymoon is to plan a camping trip!

Your trip doesn't have to be to a far away destination.  You could travel only a few miles away to find a romantic getaway for just the two of you.  Or, you could make your way to the mountains or a National Park you have always wanted to visit.  Many camp grounds offer sites for pitching a tent or parking and RV.  If you don't want to rough it and don't own an RV, you might consider renting one for your trip.

The major expenses involved in camping are food for cooking or restaurants, camping supplies, transportation, and grounds fees.  When reserving your campsite, you should ask if they offer any type of honeymoon packages.  When planning your camping honeymoon, you also might find a better deal during the off seasons.  Schools are in session during these times which may offer you a quieter, more intimate vacation.  Kids are great but typically most honeymooners are looking for a childless getaway.

Most camp grounds offer running water and shower houses.  Some even have a camp store to purchase food, supplies, and fishing bait. You can cook over a fire and cuddle up while you roast marshmallows. During the cool evenings you can scoot your sleeping bag closer to your honey, or even zip them up together!

Most campgrounds also have games such as horseshoes, shuffleboard, and volleyball. Active couples who like to engage in a little competitive fun will find these amenities very enjoyable.  Some campgrounds are even built near a lake or a pond, which provides the opportunity for water sports, if you have a boat or jet ski. Fishing is also a great way to just relax with your mate and talk about you new life together.  You may find that the camp ground offers paddle boat or canoe rentals.  A leisurely ride around the lake in a paddle boat can be very romantic!

Just because you and your new husband or wife don't have a lot of money doesn't mean you can't have a fantastic honeymoon.  Check out some camp ground websites when planning your vacation.  You may find that this affordable, low-key option is the perfect choice for you both.
