"Spacious Boondocking north of Moab!"

This place has tons of great spots, many of which are fairly level and very large. Access is very easy from the highway and the road is in pretty decent shape as long as it is dry. We found a spot about 1.1 miles down the road, not far after... Read more

"Great Park Tucked into the Mountains - Popular on Weekends"

We stayed here on the week leading up to Easter weekend. Although it was mildly busy when we arrived the preceding Sunday, it was completely dead during the week before absolutely exploding on Thursday and Friday - it was completely full by the... Read more

"Breathtaking Scenery and Blissfully Quiet Camping"

We entered from the East entrance as most others have mentioned. There is a wash to cross but it was no problem for us. Arriving on a Saturday morning we found the first few miles of the road fairly full, but once we got about 2 miles back it... Read more

"Big Open Camping Spaces Near OHV Trails - Great for Groups"

We stayed here unexpectedly the week before doing Moab (had planned on staying in Valley of the Gods but couldn't get good enough internet for teaching). The easy access and convenience are hard to beat on the way into Moab from the... Read more

"Fine & Free Local Campground"

We stayed here for a week in April and had a fine time. There are pull through and back in traditional sites in the 'upper' area but we parked parallel to the shore along the 'lower' area - it was more private and had water front! The lake was... Read more

"Fine Casino Parking Lot Surfing"

This is pretty nice as far as casino parking lots are concerned. There are separate truck and RV parking lots which make it quieter. Although we had someone run a noisy generator all night, it was still a lot more peaceful than your average... Read more

"Unbelievable, Wide-Open Boondocking West of Phoenix"

Saddle Mountain belongs in the BLM boondocking hall of fame, this place has got it all. The multiple roads in from Courthouse Rd. are single lane dirt, but are for the most part in good shape and any rig could drive them without problem. The... Read more

"Closed - Open Seasonally"

We arrived here on 4/17/17 and found the gate locked with a sign reading that the area was closed to motor vehicles from Nov. 15 thru May 31. This was disappointing because the weather was beautiful and some of the nice sites start less than a... Read more

"Fine Casino Camping"

We stayed here one night. You must sign up for a Players Club card before you can stay and in order to stay more than one night you need to earn 'points'. Also, they said that there was a limit of 12 RVs when we registered and we were the last... Read more

"Truck Stop Style Free Casino Camping"

This place is as described, truck stop style parking. We found some RVs camped together off to one side and so stayed by them to keep it quieter. If you can sleep at a Walmart you can sleep here. Security (very nice old man) stopped by to... Read more

Conquering Canyonlands

 While there are tons of camping options around Moab, we’ve done enough research to know that it’s almost impossible to find a spot in one of the official campgrounds- especially when visiting in May,...

Capitol Reef National Park & Utah’s Stunning Scenic Rt 12

 Another feature of the fold is that is does not let water pass into the rocks below easily, and therefore traps the trace rainfall of the surrounding desert into a small river.  This source of water a...

Bryce Canyon National Park: Life Atop the Grand Staircase

 After another awesome drive down the next 50 miles of UT-12, we found ourselves up atop the Paunsaugunt Plateau.  In another bit of eastern ignorance, we are not familiar with plateaus like this.  One...

From Petrified Wood to Wild Horses

As we’ve come to learn, certain national parks are all about the views, while others are all about the features. And when talking about Petrified Forest National Park, it definitely falls into the latt...

Catching a Corner of CO

     The funny thing about boondocking as much as we do is that if you find enough of the dramatic and breathtaking sites - you start to really crave them.  So we spent a few hours that week searching...

Valley of the Sun: Birthdays, NASCAR, and the greater Phoenix Metro

 Thankfully, the Light Rail happened to run right by the casino. In true NN fashion, we wanted to spend the day seeing as much as we could, so we took advantage of the ride and made our way towards dow...

Brushing the Border: Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument

 Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument sits right near the border of Mexico, along the southern side of Arizona. This special ecosystem, stretching from the southwestern United States down into Mexico, i...

Tucson & Our First Steps Into the Sonoran Desert

 We stayed our first night at the Desert Diamond Casino.  Not being big gamblers, we target casino parking lots for different reasons… ample and welcoming RV overnight accommodations.  Desert Diamond,...

Now Entering: AZ

 Tacos (and rainbows, clearly, but we'll get to that later). As we made our way to AZ, we stumbled on a small, family-run gem in Deming, New Mexico that made our interstate drive a bit more bearable. E...

Finding Magic in the land of enchantment

 That's right, sledding! At WSNM, you can rent discs (technically purchase, but they have a buy-back program) to use to fly down the dunes. Since the sand is made from gypsum, it is always cool to the...

Two-Steppin' Across Texas

Texas has always been a place that I was interested in visiting.  It wasn't for the same reasons that I wanted to see Montana or Wyoming; honestly, I don't really know why I wanted to go to Texas, but...

Easy Living on the Maumee River: Mary Jane Thurston State Park, OH

Although it is a small park, the sleepy little town of Grand Rapids is cute enough to make your head spin. With ice cream shops, antique stores, the giant town clock, and an adorable restaurant overloo...

High Sodium Content: The Bonneville Salt Flats and Salt Lake City

 WATER? WHAT? I know. Before our arrival, we had no idea that it was a normal thing in the late fall/winter to have all of the Flats covered in about six inches of water.  Luckily, the boondocking spot...

A Weekend of Seclusion to Start the Long Journey Home

 Now, even if this did all seem too good to be true, the drive from Paisly, OR to the Virgin Valley would have been completely worth it.  It was without a doubt some of the most breathtaking driving th...

From Terrifying to Tillamook

 The low-hanging branch blocking our way should have been the first sign that we needed to pick another spot. We sat in the road for a minute with Tig, trying to figure out what to do, when a forest se...

Best Friends and Big Forests at Olympic National Park

Before Cori and I moved into our tiny house on wheels together, I had spent five of the last six years living with the same person: my good friend Max.  In fact, Max introduced Cori and I to each other...

A Deep Dive into Hells Canyon on the Snake River

 After much deliberating we decided to go check out the Pittsburg Landing Recreation Area, where there is a lovely little USFS campground.  The Pittsburg Landing Area is a large landing by the river, w...

From Desert to Pacific: Our Tour Down the Columbia

 There was one other rig there when we arrived, and we would later come to meet Whitley and Brenda. Time and time again, we meet new people that help restore our faith in humanity. We were a couple of...

Nothing Tops the Tetons

 We arrived at the Tetons and made our way up to Upper Teton View (Thanks Campendium!!). It was very easy to find our spot and there were plenty of options to choose from, but we happened to see that a...

McGinnis Creek: Boondocking Among the Scars of Glacier National Park's Summer of Fire

 Aside from some solemn moments spent looking out over the scarred forest, we spent most of our time at the McGinnis Creek area working, cooking, and cleaning.  Although these are not the most exciting...

The Hunt for Ice and Snow: Crystal Lake Campground, Lewis & Clark National Forest — Nomadic Neighbors

 Once we got settled, we started to explore. Crystal Lake is a beautiful, snowmelt lake that is deepest in the spring, then slowly sinks down into the rocks below. They stock it with lake trout each sp...

After we got settled in, it was time to explore! From Green Rd, it is only about a 5 minute bike ride to the recreation area. The Manistee National Forest is home to the Nordhouse Dunes, part of the Lu...

the Wall: Boondocking Perfection outside Badlands National Park

 We spent most days at the Wall enjoying the views, nature, new friends, and the perfect summer breeze. Adding to the perfection of this spot is the ease of which you can go enjoy the Badlands National...
