The most secluded remote RVing spots in the U.S.

Your already there in California. Lots of places in the deserts and mountains on State, Forest Service lands, and BLM lands, that have dispersed camping.......otherwise known as, If you can get there, you can park and camp there for as long as you want. Problem is for remoteness, you have to think 4X4 pickup with a camper. An RV is never going to make it thru the desert washes far enough, or blaze trails on 100 year old abandoned mountain roads, to a remote spot where you will not see anyone for months.

Bear Camp Road in winter.
It's located in Southwestern Oregon near Grants Pass.
At least two people have died before help came one starved to death.

Too many places to even count/name here in Washington, but everything depends on what you mean by "RV". My favorite rig is real small and nimble, so I can go lots of places bigger rigs don't fit. The rougher the road, the fewer the RV's- that's my experience.

Still, I think the longest I've ever gone without seeing another living soul has only been three or four days.

There are numerous areas like that, depending on how rough a road you want to drive.

Here is what I have done a few times. Somewhat snobbish and elitist, but no one drove by my campsite for the entire time I was there.

After you drive the road into your site, drag a small downed tree or large branches across the road in several locations. 99% of the casual drivers will see the tree, stop, and turn around without even getting out of their vehicle.

I often, not always, seek solitude and I've been to a bunch of fairly remote places in several states. However, there's almost always someone at least driving by. My record without seeing or hearing another human is 48 hours. That was 15 years ago and the area is probably now much less remote than it was.

You'll find the most solitude midweek in the off-seasons, but you still probably won't be totally alone.

They found a couple of tent campers dead a about 40 miles from where I live last summer at one of the campgrounds! Evidently they had been dead for a week or so.
So it must not be to popular at least in sumer anyway.

the Black Hills and Bear lodge mountains of wyoming & sd and all the surrounding federal prairie lands have what you want. Its easy to find your solitude.

hey, don't be telling him stuff like that about eastern Oregon. We have had it nice a quiet for many years and we like it this way. we are a nice place to visit, just don't move here. That is what a Governor of Oregon told the people of Calif many years ago.

We entered eastern Oregon with over a half a tank of fuel. We drove nearly 150 miles looking for a station with diesel that was open on a Sunday. We went through many tiny towns with closed stations or no diesel pumps. We drove many miles with the gauge showing below empty. We finally decided that at the next town we would disconnect the car, my wife would stay with the motorhome, and I would go hunting alone.

The station in that town had diesel in an above ground tank sitting on wood pallets. It was pumped by an old Mobil pump that had to spin like crazy to keep up with modern prices. (I think we paid about $5.50 a gallon.) I pumped 1/2 gallon more fuel than the rated capacity of the tank.

A week later, I was changing the fuel filters at the side of the road. I wonder where the dirty fuel came from?

We were in western Nevada last october and saw very few people on Highway 6. We boondocked at Lunar Crater Natural National Landmark where we saw absolutely no one for 2 days. It isn't a bad road to the crater but we camped at the dry lake. Not much evidence of human presence. Quiet and dark.

Here you go!!! Black Rock Desert Northern Nevada. Nearest road is 20 miles the other side of camper. Of course you're gonna have to get off the pavement a lttle bit!!! :B
