I circled the US from the Midwest to Seattle, then down to San Diego and back through the heartland with less than $300. It was a time ago, and there were three of us splitting gas, but you can go a long way eating spaghettios and peas. That's a $2 meal.

We slept every other night in the car and at a campground. That way we were able to shower every other day. Campgrounds were around $10-15 for a tent plot, and we split that three ways.

The Badlands were a high point. You aren't too far from there. Then you can go on to Devil's Tower and The Crazy Horse memorial.
