Boondocking usually refers to free camping in remote areas. This app shows over 1,925 free boondocking locations (and growing), most within the US.
The boondocking locations are obtained from crowdsourcing and are therefore subjective in nature. What one person describes as beautiful another may describe as worthless. The number of locations continues to increase as more users submit boondocking locations.

Boondocking FAQ
Is Boondocking free?
Boondocking is not free (it costs 0.99), however it doesn't contain in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Boondocking legit?
🤔 The Boondocking app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
Been out here for only a week and these apps have already been helpful. The one thing I can’t find is a good guide to public libraries, and thought that would be a nice plugin app. On the other hand, maybe public libraries, financed by locals for locals, might be off putting for increasing wifi traffic and computer usage. Just a thought/suggestion for another project.
Where are all the Boondocking locations
I’ve used this app for a few years. Everything was great. Now there’s no dispersed locations. Just Walmart and truck stops. Even the ones I pinned. I am an admin for a Boondocking group and promoted this app often. Now I have to give it a bad review. Unfortunately, I’m just going to delete it.
Easy to use
Accurate, updated, helpful!
Boonies are we
Why no listing for blm camping at Stewart’s point, lake mead? I had to watch a YouTube video to find this!
Interrupts me to beg for a review.
My standard policy is to award one star to any app that interrupts mine to beg for a review.
I’m not sure what is meant by “title”.
Lots of descriptions are very old and I assume obsolete. Many were last updated in 2018. I’m writing this in June 2023. Have the developers given up on this app?
Best App for Me
The Boon Docking app has worked well for me to the point where it is the only one I trust. I have used it from East coast home to Washington State both middle and northern routes. I have also used it from home to Las Vegas with camping for two weeks in New Mexico and Arizona on the way and returning via Colorado all the way to PA. I think it is easiest to use and very reliable.
Not much here unless I'm missing something
Really only shows primitive campgrounds that can easily be found on google maps. Google maps can be downloaded for access without cell service also.
Please update
Times are changing and things are not as they were… It’s 2023 , can we really park, overnight, or camp there like we could just two short years ago?
