So what exactly is boondocking?
Boondocking is a fancy term for free camping in remote areas, without amenities or hookups. If you’ve ever free-camped, wild camped, or dry camped, you’ve likely already done it. There’s even an offshoot term, ‘moochdocking’, which is when you mooch off friends and family’s properties to dock up for the night. I like to think that it’s a much better term than ‘sleeping in my car’.You can ease in by free camping in designated areas such as state forests, parking lots that allow overnight camping, or properties of friends and family (moochdocking). Then when you’re comfortable enough, you can go further abroad and seek out your own remote areas; down a dirt road, along a coastline, or even quiet city streets. Just be respectful and follow a few dos and don’ts.Read more: Why I Car Camp With Hiking Gear @thecampstovechef
