Boondocking and unhooking

[travelingbug]

Heading to New England in a 22' TT but don't want to haul the trailer with us everywhere we go. Can't unhook at WM, or truck stops, or casinos, and we don't know anyone in New England. Any suggestions on how/where we can "camp" and safely unhook the trailer for several hours while we are out sightseeing?

Try the local Police station.

I seriously doubt Wally World would look kindly on someone dropping a TT in their parking lot for a day. I hope you don't. I would consider that abusing the kindness of WM to let us park over night in order to get a few hours sleep.

I also doubt truck stops would like it.

Hi,

These sites may help:

Free and Low Cost Campsites

Bob's Cheap or Free Campsites

not necessarily boondocking

Sorry - I should have been more specific in cost - even $20/day would be pushing it for more than 1-2 days at a time. Sporadically.
That pretty much eliminates campgrounds in New England in the summer.

Are you planning on going this time of year? Most campgrounds are closed for the winter, and you probably will not find any good boondocking places east of the Mississippi.

You can check this site. FreeCampgrounds.com

Many of the free places are boondocking out west, however some suggestions are places like a tire shop or church.

My guess is look for a church and park it there for a few hours. You might also check Home Depot or Lowes.

At a campground. Seriously!

Unless there are some real "boondocks" (open Public land where no-fee camping is allowed) nearby, that's really your only option for unhooking/leaving the trailer.

Most any RV park or campground will let you unhook for only about $35.00 a day

If I was wanting to unhook and leave the RV alone for a bit, I would probably stay at a park, or way out in the boonies.
