The 5 States Where RV Living Is Practically Free

Imagine slashing your housing cost so low it barely shows up in your budget. Not someday. Not “after the crash.” Right now. Because across the country, there are five states where R-V living is practically free — and almost no one outside the full-timer crowd is paying attention.

In these states, monthly pad fees drop under two hundred bucks. Utilities stay predictable. Taxes and registration don’t bleed you dry every year. For some people, just switching states could free up five grand or more without changing rigs, jobs, or lifestyle. But here’s what matters: these opportunities are already tightening. As more R-Vrs start chasing the same cheap sites, the best spots will disappear first.

So if you want in before that happens, let’s walk through the five states where R-Vee living is practically free… and how people are actually doing it…

🔴Let us know in the comments: What’s your biggest RV regret—what would you undo?👇

Camping is more enjoyable with preparation and respect for nature. Here’s how:

1.Pick the Right Site: Choose a campground suited to your needs and book early.
2.Pack Wisely: Bring essentials like a tent, food, first aid, and avoid overpacking.
3.Respect Wildlife: Stay on trails and keep distance from animals; never feed them.
4.Follow Rules: Observe quiet hours and dispose of waste responsibly.
5.Practice Fire Safety: Use fire pits, never leave fires unattended, and extinguish completely.
6.Leave No Trace: Clean up to keep nature beautiful for everyone.

Enjoy a safe, respectful outdoor experience!

I spent the day exploring a beachfront RV park in Los Angeles and it was way more relaxing than I expected. From walking the park to enjoying the ocean views, this is what RV life by the beach in LA really looks like.

When an unsafe RV park situation forces you to trust your gut and leave after three days, it's a costly lesson in prioritizing safety over money. I share what made this RV park unsafe and why I had to pack up and return to Winchester Bay, Oregon despite already paying for the site.

A winter storm rolled through the Cascades, and I headed straight into it.

Snow fell hard on the drive in, the mountains disappeared into clouds, and I settled into camp to see how the RV would handle a few days off-grid in winter conditions. No hookups. No plowed campground. Just quiet forest, fresh snow, and the steady work of managing water, power, heat, and firewood while the weather moved through.

I spent the trip hiking snow-covered trails, building campfires, and adapting to changing mountain conditions. Not every storm turns into a blizzard—but even a few inches of snow can completely change the feel of a place.

This is winter RV camping in the Cascades—raw, quiet, and a reminder that sometimes the best trips are the ones that don’t go exactly as planned.

If you enjoy off-grid RV camping, winter weather, and pushing beyond the campground, subscribe and come along for the next adventure.

☔️I spent a rainy night in a massive 3-room luxury motorhome

It was hard to believe this was really a vehicle, with such a spacious and cozy interior
Listening to the rain and spending a quiet evening inside made the whole experience feel even more special

I hope this video lets you enjoy both the peaceful sound of rain and the warm atmosphere inside the motorhome
Thank you so much for watching and spending this rainy night with me 🤍

A free RV campsite with electric hookups sounds too good to be true — but this place is real.

In this video, we visit what may be the cheapest RV campground in America: a campground with 30 amp and 50 amp electric, big-rig-friendly sites, desert scenery, and a price tag of $0 per night.

Is there a catch? We’ll show you what it’s really like.

AFFILIATE LINK DISCLOSURE: Friends, making a quality Loloho video is kind of like making sausage – only slightly more violent. It's a ridiculous amount of work that typically involves high dollar camera drops, blue-screen-of-death computer crashes, and at least one angry shotgun wielding old man shouting, “Hey! Get the hell outta here!” Once the final video is posted, rewards here on YouTube are few and far between (unless you are a masochist who enjoys being verbally abused by anonymous trolls). One saving grace is our affiliate links. JUST CLICKING THESE LINKS HELPS TO SUPPORT OUR LITTLE SHOW. Think of this clicking as like tipping - except that it doesn't cost you anything extra! If you eventually make a purchase via one of our affiliate links, we will receive a few pennies (and Sean typically invests these pennies in duct tape and video gear). Again, it doesn't cost you anything to click these links, and it's a great help to us. As always, safe travels, happy camping, and THANK YOU!

If you are scrambling for a place to stay, forget Walmart for overnight RV parking. We found 11 RV overnight spots that you can stay at instead. Many people don't know you can stay at these locations with your RV, so pay close attention.

🏕️ Our FIRST EVER RV Camping Adventure at Turning Stone RV Park! 🚐🔥

Join us as we take our very first trip to an RV campground at the beautiful Turning Stone RV Park in Upstate New York! From setting up our Coleman Keystone 23B to relaxing by the bonfire under the stars, this trip was full of unforgettable memories, laughs, and new experiences.

We hit the water for some paddle boating, explored the campground, enjoyed the peaceful scenery, and even wrapped the night up with a bourbon tasting by the fire. 🍂🥃🔥

If you’re new to camping like us, come along for the adventure as we share the ups, downs, and excitement of starting our RV journey!

Talking about Alligatory? It was hard to believe we were in Texas! Brazos Bend State Park was our first Texas State Park as Full-Time RV Campers! We stayed in Campsite 225 and it was huge and private, how we like. From beautiful Oak trees with Spanish Moss, to snakes and alligators, Brazos Bend State Park did not disappoint. Despite all the rain and mosquitos, this Texas State Park Campground is worth all the hype!

What a great spot to stay overnight!
