We probably don't really boondock camp .
We camp for free in " dispersed camping " areas with friends and family .
We never camp by ourselves any more .
Our adult kids and many friends live in the more populated part of the state on the west side of the mighty Cascade Mountain Range .
We converge in the Cascades mostly but the Ochoco National Forest is a favorite spot .
We hate crowds except the crowd of old friends that meet together around the campfire .
Oregon has some of the best State campgrounds in the nation .
We only use them in the winter . Low traffic and a reduced rate .
The majority on this forum are trying to trade up in length .
The joy of camping for us is the time spent outside .
The trailer is a container to get our junk to the campsite and a place to retreat to when the "Survivor " type foul weather comes .
Our favorite camping is definitely "Boondock Style " .
