We're torn between wanting to boondock camp completely by ourselves or close by another RV camped, say, 100 yards or more away.
That's because we're in a motorhome and don't tow and don't carry along a motorcycle or other backup transportation. We're "on our own" if we have a breakdown (or otherwise get stuck) out in the middle of nowhere - where often there is no cell service. We like someone else around for rescue in the event of serious equipment problems.
However, recently we've started camping with like-minded relatives who pull a small TT with a 4X4 PU and can go anywhere we can. So we have the best of all worlds - both of us provide backup transportation for the other in case of catostrophic mechanical failure in one of the rigs. Together we can get way out there for the true boondocking experience.
