Description
The Ultimate Guide to Boondocking in the U.S.
From the publisher: Updated August 2025 -- clarified scope.
This is a guide to dispersed & dry camping -- think BLM land, National Forests, designated no-hookup areas, and select state parks. Some spots are free; others are low-fee. This guide book does not list overnight parking spots at Walmarts or Rest Areas which are not actual boondocking campsites.

Your Gateway to Freedom and Adventure
For over a decade, my wife Zona and I have traveled full-time across the United States, logging over half a million miles in our RV. We've dry camped in every state, from desert bluffs in Utah to misty forests in the Pacific Northwest. Along the way, we've discovered what works, what doesn't, and where the hidden gems truly are.
Now we're sharing all of that experience with you -- so you can skip the trial and error and dive straight into incredible, safe, and budget-friendly boondocking adventures.
