As indicated through out this thread, there are many "variations" of boondocking. My style of boondocking does not include a campground, no matter how primitive. To me, boondocking must include:
A location where I can step out of my travel trailer and take a whiz without fear of being seen. This has always been a key element in my definition of boondocking. Obviously, this requires ELBOW ROOM.
A location where I can let my small dog roam the immediate area without fear of a big dog coming along.
A location where I can run my cheap, noisy generator and not bother anyone.
A location where someone else's activities will not disturb me.
Thankfully there are millions of acres in the Rocky Mountains where I can find these conditions. I am so very thankful for our federal lands!
Great definition of "boondock" camping!
I would add:
1) A location where we and our small dog can roam the immediate area without fear of encountering poisonous snakes.
2) A location where we can feel comfortable getting our 24 foot 2WD Class C into as opposed to a location requiring a 4WD truck camper or 4WD Class B to get to.
I like your mentioning generator use also ... as I value good generator systems for the main power in RV's far above good solar systems as the main source of power.
24/7 versatility to camp reasonably anywhere anytime is the name of the game in a good boondocking rig, IMHO.
