[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You might research youth hostels along your route. I tried camping alone in OBX and gave up, only because it was so windy (40 knots) my tent was flapping around my head like a giant bat all night long. I bailed and got a bunk in the hostel where I was camping. It was only a few bucks a night and I could read/enjoy the AC and still have a campfire or a glass of wine at the picnic tables and not worry about my safety. That would be a good option for you. I also would not hesitate to camp at a national or state park or RV park type place esp. if I arrived and set up after dark. A small pop up tent, air mattress and sleeping bag and a bottle of Jack to help you fall asleep. 
Last year I took the kids "camping" in Rehoboth and got a cabin at the campground. It started as a security measure because DH was not coming with us, but turned out to be great because it had A/C, mattresses, a small fridge to keep food & beer cold (and leftovers to reheat for lunch) electric, and when it rained we could watch a  DVD without worrying about having to pack up a soggy tent later.  We still cooked on a camp stove and made smores. [/quote]

Anybody know if there is an organization or website that lists hostels across the country?  I thought hostels were only in Europe.  Or, any other advice on how to search for one in a particular area?  Thank you.[/quote]
