Howdy yall, I just finished a roadtrip to the northeast coast from Boston to Prince Edward Island Canada. Here’s a breakdown of how much a spent to help give you an idea of cost planning your own trip.
Some additional context, I drove under 4K miles (averaged 34 miles per gallon), stayed at free campgrounds, tent camped, and made most of my meals. The app I used to find free campsites is called iOverlander2. For fun I went to public parks to hike, kayak, read, birding, and practice my photography. There were entrance fees to museums, state parks, etc.
Here’s the total spend by category: • Grocery: $214 • Gas: $437 • Tolls: $40 • Eating Out: $215 • Ice: $46 • Entrance Fee: $155 • Parking: $115 • Alcohol/bars: $68
Total $1,175, about $36 a day

Free campgrounds? I haven't found any free ones with showers, but maybe I'm not looking hard enough?

Nice, if you don’t mind me asking what all do you eat mostly ? I easily spend double that in food a month
