Desert SW has miles and miles and miles and miles and miles...of nuttin'. Biggest problem with a rig that size will be getting there. Personally, I prefer forests and that's a major reason that I don't want anything > 30-31' in OAL. Your size will also prohibit you from using many older campgrounds. You might fit in a spot, but you won't be able to =get to= it due to narrow, tight roads.

The very best place to dry camp would be Mays restaurant parking lot. But if you want to travel check out the NATCHEZ Trace, Beaches in Louisiana and Texas in particular Holly Beach Louisiana and Crystal Beach Texas and any beach in Galveston county. $10.00 PER YEAR to dry camp right on the beach. Tonto National forest around Lake Roosevelt has many boon docking opportunities. In addition they have campsites for as little as $3.00 per day with the Geezer pass. PM me for particulars if you care too

I've always thought of dry camping as being in a campground with no electric/water/sewer but with designated spaces and boondocking as parking where ever out in the open. If your talking about out in the open and park where you please, comes to the desert southwest. Lots of great places.

"dry" camp? stay away from gullies, swales, etc 🙂

www.forestcamping.com is a great resource for national forests. Once you find something there, go to the NFS site and check it out.

Almost all NFS sites are primitive, although some have electric. Most in the east have potable water, many in the west do not. To my knowledge all NFS developed campgrounds have toilet facilities, usually vaults.

Given the size of your rig, check the site descriptions carefully. It's a good idea to call the ranger district to verify open dates & amenities, sometimes there are closures due to flood, storm damage, etc.

In traveling all over if you stay at state parks many will have electric only sites. Try Reserveamerica.com for areas of your interest. Many in the Midwest Northern states... think Michigan/Wisconsin/Minnesota/Dakotas/Wyoming have dry camping as the winters are pretty brutal on plumbing if not deep enough.
