Allstays is a great app for finding camp sites. It is $10 but well worth it! We use it a lot.

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!

We joined the KOA, so we get a book of all their campgrounds. I like that they have full hook up, wifi and my favorite CABLE so I can follow my sports team etc.
There are lots of other club such as Good Sam's, Army Corp of Engineers (that have camp areas), state lands and more. We often use Flying J Truck stops while headed to the campgrounds.

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.

I will check into it. I'm starting with our local state forests for now. Thanks again for the suggestions.

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. Vann Evans |

I googled dispersed camping and found some recommendations from other campers. It turns out the state forests require a permit to camp if from an auto or staying more than one night. I called the forestry office here in Franklin county PA and was told they do have some out of the way camp sites, however, the majority are suited for tent camping. According to the ranger the campsites open to trailers are located at trail head parking. This would be for activities such as horseback riding, four wheelers etc. That isn't what I had in mind for boondock camping but will have to take a ride and check them out to determine if they will suffice.
Techntrek, I checked out the sub-forum and there is some good info there. I really like some of the active maps available. Thanks to all for the ideas and recommendations. I have some work to do. |
