Camping trip budget calculator

Estimate fuel and camping costs for a trip. Enter the total round-trip distance once - the calculator doesn't double it.

Round-trip distance (miles) Total miles there and back. Don't double it if you already entered the round trip. Fuel economy (mpg) Towing or a motorhome often gets 8-14 mpg. Fuel price ($ / gallon) Nights Campsite fee per night ($) Leave empty if you don't know it yet. Other fees (entry, pass, reservation) ($) Food and other spending ($) Calculate

An estimate, not a quote. Fees and fuel prices change; check the official site before you go.

How it is calculated

• Fuel = round-trip miles ÷ mpg × price per gallon
• Total = fuel + nights × nightly fee + other fees + food and other spending

Example: 600 miles ÷ 20 mpg × $3.50 = $105 fuel. Three nights × $30 = $90. Other fees $35 and food $120: total $350. These are example inputs, not current prices for a specific place.

Limits: the result is an estimate, not a quote. If the nightly fee is unknown the total is marked “incomplete” instead of counting camping as $0. Fees, fuel prices and towing mileage vary - check the official site before you go.
