Your Favorite Boondocking Pics

Mazatzal Wilderness, AZ
Memorial Day weekend.

Every time we go, we are amazed by the scenery and isolation. We see some fellow hiker/campers but not more than a handful.


Just a car's length off the road is OK when only 3 or 4 trucks go by in 24 hours.

Could be because of the 7 mile road up the mountain?

very nice, wish it wasn't so expensive for gas now. I would like to make that Ak trip i n our RV. Been there via cruise but only near the water.

Simply beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

OK, figured I've been trolling enough here and should add 2 recent ones of my own:

1st one is from Kelly's Pond in Sam Houston National Forest, TX just about a month ago. Very easy access, open field:



2nd one is from Sea Rim in Texas, also about a month ago (maybe more? Time flies!). The camping spot was kinda basic, but the beach & sunset views were totally deserted and tremendous!!


Can you spot the RV in the background here?

This is another one in North Idaho.... All we do is boondock, never camp in a park... YUCK!

This was taken last September in Washington State in the middle of no where. lol

Here's another photo taken at Tuttle Creek BLM camp in the Eastern Sierra:


Unfortunately, this camp and its sibling camps (Goodale, Horton Creek, and Crowley) will be closed much of this summer for "improvements," which include the addition of a potable water system.

See the BLM Bishop Field Office site for updates.

This is Tuttle Creek, a primitive BLM facility near Mt. Whitney -- it is technically a campground, so it is technically not true boondocking, but it is pretty darn primitive -- pit toilets, no water, no pavement, no picnic tables. Decent view of the Sierra, though:

Sir Drake asked about the length of the exposure -- about 30 seconds. And yes, you can see star trails, a little -- the stars are elongated blurs, rather than dots.
