Many free RV camping areas still available
Even though a night at a private RV park will cost you $30 and up these days (often way up), and the cost of public campgrounds is $15 and up, there are still many places where you can stay for free or nearly free.
RV Boondocking: You can get power from the wind
Solar isn't the only "alternative power" available for those staying in their RVs out in the "boonies." They don't only call the wind "Mariah," they also call it a force for free power. See how you can use the wind to power your RV lifestyle.


RV Boondocking: Where do you get your power?
RV boondocking means taking your RV away from "utility" hookups and RV parks. But where do you find the power to make all your "stuff" work? In this post we'll talk about getting your electricity from the sun.


What is RV boondocking?
Folks unfamiliar with the RV lifestyle are often puzzled by some of the terms: "Fifth wheel, dumping tanks, hitch itch, boondocking?" Boondocking to some means a night spent on a pavement parking lot, while traveling to a favorite RV park. But for serious boondockers, boondocking means spending days, weeks, even months away from an electrical hookup or dump station. "Why on earth," some wonder, "would anyone want to do such a thing?


Yes, you can camp for free in your RV
Cut your RV travel costs by camping for free. The cost of an RV campsite in an RV park or public campground can range from $15 to $45 a night. Locating a a free place to stay is a great way to stretch one's RVing dollars.
Take a One-Gallon Shower
Dry camp longer: conserve fresh-water usage plus decrease the amount of water going into your grey tank by taking more efficient showers. Often called a "Navy" shower, this is a technique the Navy uses to decrease the amount of shower water an individual uses. Test it for your RV shower.
Stay Longer and Stay Free by Boondocking (Dry Camping)
Boondocking does not mean living primitively. Your RV is self-contained—that is, you have all the necessary systems on board to live comfortably. Use them.
What is boondocking?
The terms boondocking and dry camping can mean different things to different RVers, sometimes resulting in confusion. What we really need is a new term for casino and WalMart parking lot stays.
