I am planning on going to Evanston Wyoming at the end of August. I have looked for over an hour for any camping nearby, and can't seem to find any. Bear River State park has NONE. All the city's hotels are $50+ per night.
Except for East Canyon, which would only save me 20 minutes of driving first thing in the morning to get to my event, is there anywhere closer I can go?

There isn't a whole lot up that way unless you head towards kemerer or the uintas.

Yeah, I've noticed that.
Oh well, I guess I can either get up earlier, or just arrive late. They never start Morning Court on time anyway! LOL

Could I sleep in my car there? If I could do it for free, that'd be awesome! I was debating just going to the Flying J Travel plaza, but I'm not sure how good personal security would be there...

[url "http://www.phillipsrvpark.com/"]Phillips RV Park[/url] [font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]is right in town and has tent sites for $17.50 plus tax per night. That took me less than 2 minutes to find.[/size][/#800000][/font]

Yeah, I saw that one. But $17+ for a tent site is absolutely ridiculous! I won't be using electrical hook ups, water, sewer/black water dumping, or anything. Just parking. I can go to Wal-Mart and spend the night for free (and if I was really polite, go in and buy something, but even still keep it under $5)
Plus I also have to consider the $25 in gas (round trip) over my monthly budget, too. Plus the event entrance is $15... all these fees start adding up quick!

But they DO give you access to a bathroom to take care of bodily functions when needed and hot showers which would be much appreciated by people you come in contact with during whatever event in which you will be participating.[/#800000][/font]

Try the Walmart parking lot. Campers passing thru use it. Be safe.
