Best Boondocking Ever

Boondocking is dry camping for free. Over time, we’ve found we can dry camp (no water or electric hook-ups) for about 3 days without running the generator. We’ve camped for 4 days without needing water or to dump tanks. If we tried, I’m sure we could go longer.

We’ve boondocked several times in the last few months, but it’s been mostly at Walmart’s, rest areas, or in family and friends driveways. The best places are in the middle of nowhere. I use www.freecampsites.net and the ebooks I purchased from www.frugal-rv-travel.com  to find these places. This time we went to a spot on the beach that was listed in both. We definitely wouldn’t have found it without that information since it was off the beaten path (Magnolia Beach, Texas). We were a bit confused and hesitant to camp even though we had the coordinates of the spot since there were no signs that said camping was allowed. But there were a few other RV’s on the beach and we decided to stop.

Fabulous! We camped on what seemed to be our private beach. I pulled out my camp chair and enjoyed the view. What a wonderful place to enjoy a book.

At one point a tanker passed the beach. Then, the wake came crashing up the beach. Very cool.

The next morning it started to rain so we were off to our next stop before we got stuck in the sand.
