I find that using BoonDocking works well in Country I don’t know. You can list the filters and zero in on what your needs are. It seems to be accurate and is easy to use. Went to the East Coast last year from Washington state and back and it came in very handy. Heading to the Southwest this week and I know the approximate places I’ll be spending the night and I’ve looked ahead and highlighted different options.
Boondocking is my favorite kind of RV camping. I’m glad someone took the time to put this together! Love it. Would be nice to have more pictures of the camp spots. And the ability to add reviews so that people could leave their experiences and tips. For what it is, it’s a great way to find the camping we’ve been wanting to do with our new trailer. Thank you!
The Boon Docking app has worked well for me to the point where it is the only one I trust. I have used it from East coast home to Washington State both middle and northern routes. I have also used it from home to Las Vegas with camping for two weeks in New Mexico and Arizona on the way and returning via Colorado all the way to PA. I think it is easiest to use and very reliable.
I love this app! It’s always been great and has never once let me down and I camp A LOT. Many of the sites are actually free campsites for tents and RVs the like. I happened on a really nice camping area on the Kilchis River that was far beyond any dreamy hopes or expectations. I use that forest constantly now and would never have known about it if it weren’t for this App.
It seems easy enough to use. As a new wannabe boondocker, I appreciate all the work that has been put into this app and those too who have contributed their information which is so helpful for newbies as well as those looking for a new place to explore. I have been doing research for my first roadtrip and this has already helped.
It needs more user entries for boondocks locations but that would be counter to many who boondock as their fav spots will get busier...so I suspect many don’t make entries. Not sure how to “fix” that but I’m certain it is a hinderance to increasing entries.
As opposed to the 6,000+ FREE campsites on other apps- this is by far the most pathetic data base. While only a handful of locations come up in Arizona alone, you can’t help but laugh. There are far better apps clearly developed by more passionate individuals who undoubtedly have a greater appreciation for the outdoors than this app attempts to portray. Accessing a more accurate database would a lone be a phenomenal service to this app- displaying just some of the lack behind this app.
My fiancé and I use this app frequently to find good places to camp out for the night during trips. The description section is great and it has helped us many times!
This app has been very helpful when camping, I travel all over the Pacific coast from Washington to Mexico. I enjoy having the ability to search new a different places each month. I recommend this app.
This App blows because there’s no way to easily find the place you’re seeking. I’ve spent the better part if the past 10 minutes trying to find Murphy, NC on the map. I’m having to flip back and forth between your map and Google maps to reference roads and larger cities in an effort to locate the town. About to give up and delete the app. Ugh!!
Mostly for RV people. I am not a picky camper. I seek only what is free, often looking for discreet BLM or National Forest sites. No amenities. Many campsites are unmentioned in certain regions, so its hit-or-miss. Use this app along with one or two others because it does not cover all regions with the same depth, and the sites included in the app are suited more for RVs.
Ive been looking for an app like this forever. It makes the drives across the country sooooo much easier to handle. In the era of corona virus it makes it a lot safer too
It appears the greatest challenge for developers of apps such as these is gathering data and keeping it fresh. This app appears to have one of the more limited data sets but it’s one the most up to date.
I’ve used this app for a few years. Everything was great. Now there’s no dispersed locations. Just Walmart and truck stops. Even the ones I pinned. I am an admin for a Boondocking group and promoted this app often. Now I have to give it a bad review. Unfortunately, I’m just going to delete it.
I’ve thought it was odd that there is not a lot of stuff listed in vA. Now I’m thinking it’s be you can’t save sites. This app doesn’t seem as helpful as I would like and will likely delete it. When you try to save it, you get a message that the email is not valid but there is no way to add one or check the email for the app.
Location was exactly as stated we stayed 2 nights, several other locations nearby off of a logging road. We stayed Saturday & Sunday March 2 & 3, 2019. Scott
It kind of defeats the purpose of the app that no information is given about size. Space for tent camping, or 25’ trailer, or class A motor homes. Some sites have a little info, but mostly you are guessing if you will fit.
Either I’m a moron or this ap is incredibly difficult to use. Couldn’t get any info for the area I was in and never updated so all I got were the same sites that did not apply to me
the app is hard to use and yet it seems easy to see that it encourages the use of illegal sites for camping — I can’t think of any other reason “abandoned buildings/houses” and “neglected property” would be listed under available sites.
Our first experience with this app and we got a ticket
We parked in the spot were you can “boondock” according with this app in Santa Monica and we got a ticket. Not happy about this. The app doesn’t have a feature where you can let people know that is not a free parking either.
Lots of descriptions are very old and I assume obsolete. Many were last updated in 2018. I’m writing this in June 2023. Have the developers given up on this app?
I’ve been traveling through the PNW, there are so many places to stop that are not listed on this app, same it’s not really accurate to what is available out there, waste of an app.
This app would be better described as dry camping campsites which are different than boondocking or dispersed camping on public lands. It does not offer me anything I don’t already have with Campendium.
I am setting 1/4 mile from the Golden Spike national Park in Promontory and it tells me I am 35 miles away. I have tried to search salt Lake for places to stay and it tells me zero for the search
Boondocking usually refers to free camping in remote areas. This app shows over 1,850 free boondocking locations (and growing), most within the US. The boondocking locations are obtained from crowdsourcing and are therefore subjective in nature. What one person describes as beautiful another may describe as worthless. The number of locations continues to increase as more users submit boondocking locations. - No Internet needed as the boondocking locations are contained with the app. - Shows driving distance and time from your current location to the boondocking location. - View multiple map types such as Open Street Map. - Get info about each boondocking location, even when offline. - Mark locations as Favorite locations. - Get the local weather for the location. - Find nearby hiking and biking locations. - View Flickr photos for the location (when available). - Filter the locations (water, toilets, etc) so you only view the locations you what to see. - Send location data directly to our Road Trip Planner app. - No login or subscription necessary. Just start the app and use it! Happy Camping!
