What is boondocking?

LOL! Thanks everyone! I did a little reading through the forums and found the acronyms but for some reason didn't get far enough to find boondocking. I kind of thought that's what it meant but wanted to be sure.

You'll see it a lot more in the boondocking forum.

Dottie,

This is what Mello Mike, one of the moderators on this site, wrote:

"This subject is often brought up so I thought we'd put our collective heads together for the sake of newbies and others who are curious what these terms mean. This will be posted as a permanent thread at the top of this forum.

Dry Camping: Means no utility hook ups such as water, electricity, sewer, cable TV or telephone and may or may not require a fee. Can either be in a city, state, or federal campground, a sporting venue or a parking lot.

Overnighting: Stopping at a Rest Stop, Flying J's or WALMART overnight to catch a few winks.

Boondocking: Means wilderness or primitive camping out in the "boondocks." Natural beauty with little or no (noisy) neighbors. This type of camping (usually in Public Lands like State, BLM, and National Forests) is usually FREE. Just find a place and park.

Finally, you always dry camp when you boondock, but you don't always boondock when you dry camp."

And, if you're interested, here's a list of Acronyms and Abbreviations you will see on the forum.

There's a sticky just for this question :)
