I have wanted to go on a road trip for a while, just driving off to nearby towns in my hatchback and exploring. I’d start small, like a day or three. The main thing holding me back is uncertainty of what to bring and how to do it, amongst other issues. I think I can figure out the food and sleep, but I was wondering:

  • Where to access showers?
  • Where to refill water?
  • Is it worth bringing a tent (could I set it up outside of a campsite)?
  • Where can I park when I need to sleep (that I won’t get in trouble for)?
  • Am I missing anything else?

Was hoping some of you might have advice. I don’t have a whole lot of good people to go to about this IRL.

Edit: Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to respond!

    Don’t worry so much. Get a hotel for the night, its so much better that way. Beyond that, you can always buy what you need if you forget something.

      I’m definitely looking at hotels, airbnb’s, campgrounds, and hostels as options to rest up, but staying somewhere every night I want to be out of town would add up quick. Thanks for the assurance!
