A Different Kind A’ Campin’

Have you ever got the urge to just take your rig and get away from the ‘Slide to Awning’ existence in your RV park, campground, state or local park? Somewhere you can breath in the fabulous suroundins’ and feel at peace with the world. No neighbors, just you and maybe your partner livin’ the simple life. No hookups, clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, no bathhouse, just you & yours agin’ the world. Let’s face it, with today’s RV’s you carry all the comforts of home withca’. Ya got yer’ complete kitchen, bath, sleepin’ arrangements, then ya’ got your TV’s, computer & other electronical gadgets. Ya can tote water onboard, ya’ got a spot fer’all that water ya’ use to be stored & ya’ got battery(s) to make lights and what-not. Ya’ got all the comforts o’ home with ya’ so why not make use o’ all this stuff.

Aren’t we travelin’ this big green bubble so’s we can get out a see and experience all it’s got to offer? We park in some park or campground and take day trips to see the magnificent beauty. When your out there absorbin’ that magnificence how many times have you said, “I could live here”, or “Wouldn’t you love to wake up to this view everyday”? You’re getting’ the lookin’ down pat, but your not even scratchin’ the experience part. Well ya’ can do it with just a little ponderin’ & plannin’.

Let’s talk about ‘Boondockin’! Boondockin’ has been coined  as term referin’ to campin’ without hookups. Have you ever spent the night at ‘Wally World’? I guess some would call that boondockin’. Me, I call that an overnight stop that a kind retailer has extended us the courtesy of providin’ us a space to park.

To me boondockin’ involves a little more scenery. My friend Brian Gore over at RV Boondockin’ the Good Life has been getting’ a lot o’ flak with them that say he’s not doin’ her right or proper. Boondockin’ is what you make it. I don’t think there is one way right and proper to do it. So Brian do it like it feels right fer’ you!. Camped in the mountains, forest, desert or the beach. There are spots like this ‘YOU’ can stay fer the night and some for quite a spell. Most cost nothing more than the will an’ ingenuity to do  it. Some may cost a few dollars. But the spiritual rewards of wakin’ up next to a a mountain stream, or to the smell of the surf, or gazin’ across a meadow watchin’ the critters, or just smellin the crisp clean mountain air as you take in your majestic surroundin’s.

Opportunities to experience this type of camping abound in this great country of ours.  Now we’re based on the East coast and were havin’ a time findin’ remote anything, let alone campin’ spots, but I’ve found it can be done. There are lots of resources available on the ‘net’ fer’ this kind a campin’. I will discuss these in another post.

So until the next time I’ll just show ya’ some of the Boondockin’ spots we’ve found and best of all, every single one of these were all FREE, Nada, Zip, Nothing out of pocket, easy on the budget.

Well we hope to see ya down the road as we’re;

Dancin’ on the Wind.
