Boondock Camping

Regards to boondocking, national forests typically offer free, dispersed camping and we've taken advantage of this often. Google a national forest that you're interested in and then look for camping info. Dispersed camping details will be there. And the regular campgrounds are cheap, in the forests, even more so with the National Parks senior pass (if you are 62+). When we plan on boondocking we fill our fresh water tank all the way and dump our waste water tanks before heading out. This can last you maybe 2 weeks. Or we locate a nearby dump station and use as needed. We also use solar panels to charge the battery in the trailer. Have fun!

If you are out boondock camping, where do you go when you need to replenish water tanks and empty the black water? Also, What are some good guides for campgrounds in general? I came across https://www.ultimatecampgrounds.com/ in my searches. 

We have done a lot of boondocking over the years.  Most of the BLM and open government land is further west than NC.  We have done most of the boondocking in campgrounds that have closed their services (elect/water/dump) for the season, but still allow self contained rv's or primitive camping.  the key is to look for 'primitive camping".  there is a lot of info available on the web regarding State , county, and local parks as well as National parks. The government has a lot of different agencies that has control over the lands, rivers and forests.  Try looking at the US Forest Service, the US wildlife service, the state Game and fisheries dept. etc.
all of them have different areas with different rules.  but there is a lot of good camping areas available if you have the capability to be away from services for a couple of days.
