Do you have tips for a low-budget road trip from Denver to Cali?

I’m wanting to take a two-person week-long road trip from Denver to San Jose/San Francisco and then LA. The biggest car we have is a ’95 Toyota Camry. We’ve never camped but would like to try. We don’t have much money; probably $1000 max.

it should not be a problem to stay under the 1000 dollar limit. you are looking to probably travel about 2500 miles and for gas that will be approximately $250 to $350 dollars. if you pack a cooler full of food and sandwich stuff then the food is really cheap. also i would suggest one of a couple different options, either take turns driving, and get there in about 15-18 hours that way you dont have to spend money to stay anywhere, and you get more time to spend at your destination, or stay in your car at a gas station or rest stop or parking lot. its free! or if you prefer camping would be fun. (and cheap).

hope you have fun! travel safe!
