"Wonderful beach boondocking!"

Seemingly miles from anywhere, this is a rare find as boondocking in general, not to mention beach boondocking, is hard to come by east of the Rockies. Bring your provisions, for there's no supermarket this side of Lake Charles. The sand is firm... Read more

"Cheap, cheap and cheap. Did I mention cheap?"

Because we'd usually rather be boondocking, we're all about cheap when we actually have to pay for a campsite. And if we're actually going to have to pay, we want the whole shebang -- 50A electric, water and sewer hookups -- because why pay for... Read more

"Spectacular RV riverfront camping on a private ranch"

OK, calling this an RV Park would do it a big disservice. Rather, this is the land of an elderly ranching couple, Gordon and Jeanna, who have opened up to RV camping on 5 spots carved out of one of their fields along the bubbling Dolores River.... Read more

"Beautiful boondocking between Torrey and Capitol Reef NP"

"Quiet midweek, lots of kids on weekends"

The main campground itself at Wylie Park is rather attractive with mature trees and reasonable site spacing (there's a secondary North Campground that's newer with less mature vegetation). Pricing is a little high at $36+/night for FHU, but the... Read more

"Tiny and QUIET!"

Cottonwood Cove Park was the fifth campsite we rolled into in this tri-state area looking for a spot that we actually liked, and boy did we score! This is a little municipal park with only 12 sites, water/electric/cable TV for $22/night. Be aware... Read more

"Five stars and dirt cheap"

This campground is operated by the city of Fort Pierre as part of their city park. These sites are water/electric (20/30/50A) only, although there is a free dump station on site. Sites are right on the river, and we found some of them near the... Read more

"Gorgeous northwest Nebraska boondocking with a view"

We're in the midst of a week in our 26' travel trailer along this beautiful 1.5 mile-long dirt Forest Service road 714-A, directly above Chadron State Park. We're guessing that most folks who stay in the State Park campground below are unaware... Read more

"Lots of trash, and questionable security"

FYI we were really looking forward to camping here, but in the end we didn't stay. First off, there is more trash washed up on this beach than we've ever seen anywhere. It's really most unfortunate, but I suspect that much of it washes down the... Read more

"What a find! Better than most "RV resorts" -- but free."

This place is a little score! We pulled in on a Saturday night en route from Salt Lake City to Cloudcroft, NM, looking for a better in-transit alternative than the Farmington Wally World. This is a brand-new campground opened by the BLM in 2019.... Read more
