memtb - great site! Even greater difference between outside temp and inside. 57 is warm compared to the outside!

ORbiker, you probably already know this, but there is some big rig friendly back road boondocking off of Highway 97, in the area around Crescent and Chemult. Also take a look near the north entrance to Crater Lake, in the national forest. Wide gravel roads, lots of places to turn around, plenty of good riding.


Yes 139
I know of many places to camp in that area.

There is no reason for me to primitive camp because I have a membership at Cascade Meadows RV Resort. 2 weeks for free w/full hookup. Maybe once we go full time we might use a boondock site near there to camp for our week out before going back to the park.

There is a nice spot just east of Cascade Meadows about 2 miles that has 3 or so free spots near a little creek.

Maman, great photo, and congrats on being able to post pix. (Not to mention congrats on living in Colorado --boondocking heaven. It takes us three days of hard driving just to get to that area.)

Here is a suggestion -- try this link, if you have not done so already:

RV Photo Post app

It was created for us by one of the moderators (his name is 1492 -- bless him). You just go to that site, either drag your photo in or else use the select button, copy the code that pops up into the box, and paste that code into your message. So easy.

Keep on posting!!


Thank you! I think that is the very post that helped me figure it out. ๐Ÿ™‚

Our favorite boondocking place is...wherever we happen to be at the time...
This picture was taken November 3, 2017, weโ€™re camped southwest of Meteetsee, WY, at about 7000 feet.





This morningโ€™s temperature and probably dropped a degree or two after we left camp. Pretty decent temperatures for this time of year.

I haven't been brave enough to go on the back roads yet with our 42' f'er. I have done lots of boondockin' via my different motorcycles over the years. Once you get east of the Mississippi it's pretty hard to fine even a reasonable priced tent site.

I have boondocked at Little Nash Sno-park in Oregon. Most of the sno-parks are BIG rig friendly.

Just found this thread a few days ago & have been enjoying all the great pictures. I don't have many to share (yet), as we have had our camper for almost a year now & have been getting our feet wet boondocking the past few months - but will post a few as soon as I figure out how to do it!

So this is one of those "where's Waldo" shots -- where is the trailer? (The answer is after the photo.) This shows the setting of our boondocking site in Idaho, situated on a range of low hills just across the valley from the Sawtooths:

Thanks!! Great tips. We are hoping to do some boondocking on the Island later this summer.
