Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
There are a few books out there, it really depends on what you are looking for! Boondocking can be anything from BLM Land Federal remote. To Wallmart and Crackerbarrel.
Easy to read BLM maps? USGS Topo Maps would be your best bet, you can get them in bundles by area but there can be a lot of them I'm not sure if they have online versions or not. Since we no longer hike on the AT I haven't looked at any of the USGS stuff since we stopped.
The one issue with those though is going to be locked gates. They'll show you the roads but won't indicate if they're gated or not. Some places that I know of that used to be open are now locked off.
It depends on what you mean by Boondock. Free camping is hard to find with the exception of some Forest Land, a few commercial parking lots for the night, and some BLM land. Low cost camping can be found in National Forest campgrounds especially if you are 62 or over and have a federal senior pass, some state Parks like New Mexico that have a very generous annual permit for around $200, BLM managed areas with an annual cost of less than $100 and some small remote RV parks on a monthly basis.
If you mean dry camping you can do that most places at a much lower cost than some utilities or full hookups.
We have dry camped for as little as $10 a week and up to $300 a month.
