Coming off of a four month trip through the U.S. and Canada we found that rv parks are outrageously expensive. The last one we passed up was in St. Louis, $53 back in. We found four hotels in the area that were under $53, in fact, they were under $35 and not bad for the price. Sure, I won't give up my rv bed but it has come to a point where that is way too much. The other was in Kelowna, BC at $65 a night.
We boondocked most of the four months except for about 15 nights. Home Depot loves to have rvers and they have wifi that you can easily access from your rig.
We will be rving in Mexico for the next couple of years where we can boondock just about anywhere.
Funny, we've never made a campfire and we stayed in BLM land, Grand Canyon, all throughout the west. Not much into forest fires and smoke :)
