Your Favorite Boondocking Pics

Here was our most recent boondocking spot. We arrived on July 5 and had 6 glorious days and nights.



We shared this 95 acre lake with no more than 2 other camping groups on any given night.





Look closely and you can see our camp, about 1/3 of the way from the right side. The tallest tree is halfway from our camp to the edge of the picture.

Memorial day weekend 2010. Dispersed camping at Molasses River - Gladwin Mi ORV area.
Very dry and no place to swim!!!! Fishing not good but the cool nights were great for sleeping.


My solar array 175 watts.


The one track road to our dispersed camping. Very few BUGs which was not surprising due to the fact
northern Michigan is extremely dry this year!!!


Our group dispersed camping site.

we live in southern Oregon lots of great places to dry camp all around so never have far to travel . this place is just 8 miles from home in the Siskiyou national forest along the east fork of the Illinois river, best part is we had the hole place to are self's . this was are first outing in are pop up kids loved it !!

Thanks for the info guys. Last I had checked it appeared that it was tents only so maybe the changed that rule. Either that or I confused it with the Manistee/Huron National Forest rules.

I just have a popup but still got to be able to not get stuck down a dead end with no way to turn around either. Although a bit easier then a 5ver. :)

RFOneWatt is correct. You must be minium one mile from a state park or state forest campground.
The interesting thing is a couple of weeks ago when my son and I were campeing in these pics on the Muskegon river two other campers were present but they did not have a permit and I never spotted a ranger checking things out. I would suggest you get the permits by calling the Michigan DNR and they will mail you as many as you request in reason of course.
Go to the DNR on line and look up maps for state forest lands broken down by county then go on google and check the spots out. I have found many and when I am up there camping I will drive around to the locations which I think might work. I can't afford to get caught down some one track narrow road with no way out and 35' of rig waiting to go somewhere. If you need more info email me with questions. Enjoy camping!!!
