Camping is one of the most inexpensive trips that can be planned during the month of June. While nightly rates are generally higher during the summer months, it is still relatively inexpensive to stay at a campground or a state or national park as opposed to a hotel or summer rental. Some state and national parks not only have camping facilities, but also feature recreational activities to keep you and your family active and entertained during your trip. State and national parks can be found on beaches, near lakes, rivers and streams or in mountainous regions or historical areas. At Myrtle Beach State Park in South Carolina, campers can stay at a campsite with electric hookups for $26 per night during the month of June 2011. While there, you can swim, surf, bodyboard, comb the beach and walk on the fishing pier. Bring your food, supplies, fishing gear or other recreational gear to further save on expenses. You are sure to have an experience of a lifetime without spending much money at all.
For those who live within a short drive of the mountains, beaches, parks and other scenic areas, families and individuals can plan a vacation to destinations nearby without spending the extra money on lodging accommodations. Day trips can be planned that can save you plenty of money during the month of June. You can get up early in the morning and drive to your nearby destination for a full packed day of activity, picnicking and relaxation.
Research areas where the month of June is not a peak time of year for vacations. According to CheapTickets.com, you can book hotel reservations in Dallas, Texas; Columbia, South Carolina; and Egypt at reduced rates because June is not a part of those areas' peak season. You can book flights and reserve hotels rooms in areas in early June at discounted rates because many of the schools are still in session until mid-June.
According to Transitions Abroad, other areas where June is the off-season include: the Caribbean, Mexico, Kenya, Brazil, Venezuela's Margarita Island and Panama. Check with your local travel agent to find a destination within your budget.
