Decades ago we camped in a secluded campsite near the Oregon coast. We were in a small trailer. No other campers around.
Husband is quite the sleeper and he had had his share of some vino the night before. I was sound asleep and woke with a start. The young dog was upset. I was just above sleep and I heard this rumbling along with vigration and then a sharp shake on the trailer. Then woke up all the way, confused and opened the curtain. I figured we just had an earthquake. Could not figure out how Wayne slept through that. Got into town, stayed that night at hotel. Could not find any info about an earthquake happening. Looked for that info off and on for a couple months then forgot about it. Years later after a couple seasons of Big Foot I realized what it was. It finally made sense where it never had before.

Search BLM camping sites. Also "free campsites" should take you to some web pages. Add +PA on your search. Read rules provided for that site's information. Check your cargo weight so you know how much water you can take in case they don't have water at the site you're interested in. Sometimes there are low cost BLM sites with some water/facilities. Other times it is "dispersed camping" on BLM land for free. Have fun!

Frequently podders on the site mention boondock camping. I live in central PA and have ample wooded area all over the state to camp. The forest areas open to the public are state forests mostly and many parks have been built providing facilities, trails, swimming boating etc. The parks are beautiful and the campsites come at a cost of around $25 per night. The parks for the most part are a deal when using everything provided but can add up if you just want a place to park the camper for a week or so. They are also full on the holiday weekends and elbow to elbow camping isn't my idea of getting away from it all. I'm sure there are alot of unknown, out of the way camping areas in the woods but how to find them???
My question is what does the avid boondock camper do to find a secluded spot? What is the edicate for staying on public land without permits, fees etc? I.E. do you have to notify the ranger station, what about gray water disposal. Are there any other things to consider? Also, are there any websites or apps available that podders have used to aid in finding a campsite while traveling?. walmart has provided many nites for weary travelers but I'm looking for an alternative to see some of the "off the beaten path" local attractions. I also would like to hear what podders idea of what boondock camping is all about and what has been your favorite experience boondocking. |
