We are almost two months away before the solar eclipse.

Already, hotels and campgrounds are being booked up by sky-watchers. Travel and Tour World has posted an article on which mode of travel for the event is more economical for the family budget.

When it comes to enjoying the captivating sights and sounds of the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8th without breaking the bank, many Americans are discovering that opting for an RV adventure and celebrating at one of the 5,000-plus campgrounds along the eclipse’s path is a more budget-friendly alternative to air travel and hotel stays. A recent survey by Priceline on flights and hotel rates in cities along the eclipse route revealed an average airfare of $587 per person and a nightly hotel rate of $238. In contrast, camping in picturesque parks or family-friendly campgrounds comes at a fraction of the cost, with many sites available for under $75. For those interested in renting an RV for the occasion, it’s possible to secure one that accommodates up to 8 people for less than $100 per night.
