We're wanting to do tent camping for free if possible. We will be traveling from New Mexico through Utah, Idaho, Oregon, to Seattle, Washington.

How much would it cost to spend 2 months camping?
Plus
We're wanting to take June and July off and just go camping through the state of New Mexico and the grand canyon.
We'll have $1,500 a month and $400 a month for food.
Our monthly going out would be $110 for phones, $157 for our truck, $63 for insurance, plus diapers, wipes and dog food, so about $100.
We plan on staying about 5-7 days in each location, and one of those weeks we'll be staying for free at someone's house.
We're considering buying a cab over camper, it'll be slightly easier than tent camping, but I think it'll be more expensive.
We'll be bringing bikes, so when we stop we won't be driving a ton.
Our main ideas are the grand canyon, Carlsbad caverns, white sands, Roswell, etc.
Does this sound possible with our income?
Answer
$1900 per month should do you just fine. People have made that tour on a whole lot less. Assuming your vehicle is in good shape. It's getting hot out there though. Carry lots of water.
I've been to Carlsbad Caverns, it's very wonderful.
Grand Canyon is going to cost you some. I have heard that they don't even allow cars at the South rim any more, gotta park outside and get bused in. Check on that and be prepared.
White Sands and Roswell won't cost much and I assume Roswell has camping.
You should be able to do all that with the resources you have. I wouldn't do the RV thing, it costs a lot to park them and they require lots of maintenance (and fuel). Use tents.
Hope it goes well!! Sounds like a great trip.
