What is boondocking and dry camping?
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...

Dry camping means no water or dumping facilities for hookups. Whether you run a generator or solar panels or even batteries does not affect whether you dry camp or wet camp, or boondock, as far as the utilites portion not being there.
That would be called electricless camping, if you didn't have storage and production means for electricity. And if you didn't bring propane or white gas, that would be gasless camping.
Yes, you can dry camp with a generator, or solar panels. It's a utility when you are on the grid, it's a luxury when you make your own, or harvest your own. But it doesn't have much to do with the definition of dry camping.
