Make your first stop in a new state the State Welcome Center

When traveling about the country, make the State Welcome Center or Visitor Center your first stop—one that will  save you both time and money if you intend to explore the new area you have entered.

Your check list should include: State and/or local map, list of all campgrounds from primitive to RV resorts, discount coupons and promotional offerings for visitors, list of attractions, scenic areas, schedule of special or seasonal events, wildlife viewing areas, regional or local bird list, and a restaurant guide along with senior and early diner discounts.

And don’t forget to ask if they allow an overnight stay at the Welcome Center while you plan the rest of your trip in their state.

    We've been traveling all around the US, starting in CT last Sept. (2010), and every state we intend on staying overnight in, that's what we do as we cross the border, assuming there is on on the road we're driving. Maps, info on campgrounds, local attactions and restaurants, and shopping are all available right there. It's been very, very helpful, easy, and free.
