There is something bad about boondocking?
It can get boring out in the middle of no where at times but that's trivial compared to compared to being squeezed into a CG spot, listen to generators, dogs, kids and drunks. Unless it is so hot we need electric for the AC all day long, a campground has nothing to offer that we need. The time limit in the areas we camp in is two weeks and we are set up to go three if needed. AC is rarely needed so poof goes the campgrounds advantage.
So I'd have to say the only downside to boondocking is waking every morning wishing I was having coffee in my lawn chair deep in the woods or on a ridge over looking several mountain ranges and listening to the morning song birds that at times get so loud I am amazed people can sleep though it.
Now that's heaven.
