Probably redundant given the advice to look at various military installations but I'll throw this out there anyway...
When I was a Boy Scout in upstate NY, we did a weekend trip to Boston and were able to get lodging for little to no cost in an old military (I think Navy or Marine) barracks adjacent to the USS Constitution. We were somehow given the go ahead to eat at the mess hall for a nearby Coast Guard station. A few years later we did a trip to Philmont and the first week was spent visiting sites in Colorado. We were able to stay in some old barracks on Fort Carson for a few days.
So, check with military installations and you might be surprised at what they're willing to offer you...
