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

Depends on the terrain for me...if it's well vegetated a couple hundred yards might be fine. But when out in the desert one needs more distance.
A second consideration might be style of camping, especially as regards noise. An important thing for me is enjoying the quiet surroundings one can only find when away from the crowd. I think this is a common goal for many booniers....so those who use generators or stereos etc. might want to maintain more distance from established campers.
I always try to make sure that any noise I make won't penetrate into a neighbor's "perimeter", and appreciate it when others follow a similar rule-of-thumb.
