Many people find boondocking, dry camping, dispersed camping, or wild camping intimidating or unappealing. They invest a significant amount of money in an RV to escape the tent experience, seeking a more comfortable way to enjoy the outdoors—sometimes even opting for "glamping."

However, many argue that not incorporating boondocking into your travel plans means missing out on the full potential of your investment. While it may seem like a cheap or free option to park in a lot for the night, boondocking offers so much more.

Staying at a traditional campground often means small sites where you are crowded closely to your neighbors, to the point where you can smell what they’re cooking for breakfast. This lack of privacy and scenic views can be disappointing. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Boondocking today provides more than just parking overnight in a business lot. With options like BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land and programs such as Harvest Host and RV Overnights, you can experience breathtaking and memorable nights.

Imagine camping on the rim of the Badlands, surrounded by snow-covered mountains, or waking up to the sound of a rooster on a farm with stunning views. You could even spend the night at a winery, brewery, or distillery, enjoying their offerings. The places you choose to rest for the night can create cherished memories and leave you feeling alive and grateful for the experience.

You might think, "But I need electricity to cook, keep my food cold, and power my medical device," and the thought of managing this can seem expensive and complex. However, we at RoadCruiser.Life have found solutions to boondock easily, with minimal installation required. You won't need to deal with a noisy and smelly generator, gas cans nor will you have to put any more holes in your delicate RV roof.  And you can run air conditioning!
