The rule on boondocking is to camp where others have camped before and not break ground per say, in order to save the land. With this rule, you are more than likely going to camp where others usually are and should be able to maintain a distance. That's another rule - to respect the other campers space, but that doesn't always happen. Of all the times we've boondocked, twice others came in and practically camped on top of us. Very frustrating. The only thing to do is move because there really are no boundary rules as in a designated campground.
