[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm a single woman who lives in the west and I say do it. You'll regret it if you don't. You'll be as safe or safer than you are driving to the grocery store at home and you'll open yourself up to learning more about yourself and testing your meddle. You may even meet some great people along the way. Don't let the city slicker nay sayers dissuade you. If you want to do it, then do it. Don't let other people's fears make decisions for you. Join the Facebook group solo women travelers and there are people who have done what you're doing and can give you tips and encouragement. Live your life for YOU not for random scaredy cats on the Internet. [/quote]

I camped all the time traveling back and forth between college in the East and home in the West.  I was a young woman alone and never had a problem.  My impression was that the people in campgrounds were both polite and kind.  I've only ever been frightened by random strangers in cities, never in campgrounds!  Probably one of the safest, cheapest ways to travel.  (I did once camp totally alone in a snowy forest service site and found large cat tracks around my tent in the morning, which was very spooky, but nothing happened.)[/quote]
