what is boondocking camping

Boondocking camping is a type of dispersed camping on public land, where campers set up their campsites outside of designated campgrounds. Boondocking is also known as dry camping, wild camping, or primitive camping. When boondocking, there are no connections to water, electricity, and sewer like you’d find in a developed campground. There aren’t any bathrooms, water spigots, or picnic tables. It’s just you, your camper, and a piece of land to call your own for a night or two. Boondocking is generally free, though sometimes a permit is required. Boondocking in an RV is self-sufficient camping, meaning having no access to water, sewer, or electrical hookups. Boondocking is a cost-effective and fun way to travel in an RV, and it allows for more freedom in route planning. However, safety is a key factor to consider since many of the locations where you’ll set up camp don’t often have someone regularly overseeing them.
