Far enough away.
Have never boondocked but may try it this winter. I know that boondockers don't like others to camp too close. What is considered too close? Thanks Nick

Of course it's always nice to get as far away from the next camper as possible for boondocking ... until your tow vehicle, or truck camper's truck, or toadless motorhome breaks down in a way that you're not able to patch up on your own and your cell phone can't get out ... or worse - a medical emergency. Then you sure wish you weren't so far out in the middle of nowhere with no other campers around.
We're fortunate to have two other couples with small toadless motorhoms like ours who also like to boondock. It sure gives us a solid feeling of security and safety when boondocking together with one or both of them. It's really great boondocking with close friends to share daytime activities with, sit around the campfire with, play evening board games with, or watch movies in the evenings with.
We often wish there existed a Western U.S. RV club made up of like-minded motorhome owners who preferred boondock camping - perhaps structured like the Sierra Nevada Airstreams club - as there is plenty of moderate boondocking available in the Sierra Nevada and Sierra Basin areas that don't require 4X4 SUVs pulling offroad trailers or 4X4 truck campers to get to.
