Campgrounds cost $ per day and have a time limit on how long you can stay. Not a choice many homeless can afford to make. Without transportation to get to the next campground, they're stuck.

Campgrounds in Texas for tent campgrounds run about $15 a day for camps with running water and access to toilets.That would be $465 for 31 days and anywhere from $2 (+ $62 low end) to $8 ($248 high end extra) a day for park entry fee. So low end of $527 a month total and high end of $713. I don't know any homeless people who can afford that.

Louisiana was one of the worst slave states in the early US pre Civil War. They weren't too nice to poor whites either. ChicagoTeamster Wednesday #9
