I am wondering what can I do for some sort of vacation. I have been working 2 jobs for the last 9 months and school is out. I don't really have any money to spend. I am somewhat handicapped in that I have to have electricity at night so I can't camp. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Take a tour of the city you live in; spend the night in a hotel/motel you can afford (save your money up to do this). Have breakfast at a local restaurant and then go to an attraction in your city you have not been to. Same with lunch and dinner plans.
I know myself that there are a lot of attractions in my city that I have not been to. My husband and I go downtown and walk around and we always find some place we haven't visited in a while or a new shop to browse in.
Look around your own surroundings and discover "where you live"! It can be fun and will not cost you a lot of money
Visit some friends you haven't seen in a while. It sounds like you are in school, so see if you can visit a close friend this summer who lives in a different town or city. They will usually love to show you the sights.
did you know almost all campgrounds these days have electricity? the sites with power cost a few dollars more than the sites without. do you live near any lakes or rivers? a day trip to a local scenic river is great. we went on a float trip with our grandkids (ages 2 & 6) on a supereasy 3 hr float for $30 a canoe.
We have lots of float trips within an hour of where I live, but beware. Most here (an area known for their floats) cost $20-30.00 per person. Put 4 people in the canoe, and that float trip can cost $80-120.00--not a cheap week end.
sounds like you have a motorized chair like me?? why not take day vacations. Pack a lunch each day, take a bottle that you filled with water half way and froze, then fill with water. go to a park one day, take a book, or puzzle magazine or deck of cards or craft to work on if crochet or knit. if possible, transfer to picnic table to get away from you chair. fun to watch the kids play or watch the lake if park has one.
sandy63 here. no i dont have a wheelchair. i have sleep apnea and have a cpap machine. i am thinking about maybe trying a cabin rental and going that route.
thank you all.
Try your State Parks! Our family has had the BEST time at those!! Usually, you will find excepional deals for cabins and lodges. Also, try your state website for ideas.
Sandy, why don't you visit Havre de Grace, Maryland. There are some bed and breakfast's in town. You could walk on the promenade, feed the ducks all while looking at the bay, visit the local shops. If you do don't forget to visit Bomboy Chocolates and Ice Cream. I think they are the best. The candy shop and ice cream store are right across the street from each other.

As a campground owner, I have to tell you many campgrounds now have electricity. Many tenters even rent the electric sites, so it can be done. There are many wonderful private campgrounds around--you don't have to crowd in to a state park.
I like the idea of vacationing in your own city. Then you don't have a lodging expense.

A vacation is for the mind and body,Now you really concentrate and come up with something you would really want to do and that it is available with in an hour or two of where you live.
We rent a cabin for only $15/adult per night, and $5 for kids. It's located near Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada. To find it, Google "chillbillyacres" (one word). Hope this helps!
