I've done the camping and travelling thing. My brother and I spent 3 weeks in north America (Alaska, Canada and North West US). We stayed with friends in San Franscisco, mostly camped in Alaska (but did spend a couple of nights in Motels). We probably spent more nights camping than anything else. Most RV parks have a small 'camping' section (if you are doing this in OZ, the caravan parks usually have better camping facilities than most RV parks we stayed in). We also camped in Rec Parks (the one we stayed at in Nevada had hot showers and flushing toilets included in the few dollar camping fee) and State Forests (the one I recall had a pit toilet and no shower).
My wife and I also did this kind of trip in Tasmania - some of the camping spots were amazing (the caravan parks in Strauchan and Mole Creek were highlights).
The other way to really save money when travelling is to go off peak season. Heaps less people, and usually a lot cheaper.
