## Boondocking Description
Boondocking usually refers to free camping in remote areas.  This app shows over 2,100 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. 

- No Internet needed as the boondocking locations are contained with the app.
- Shows driving distance and time from your current location to the boondocking location.
- View multiple map types such as Open Street Map.
- Get info about each boondocking location, even when offline.
- Mark locations as Favorite locations.
- Get the local weather for the location. 
- Find nearby hiking and biking locations.
- View Flickr photos for the location (when available).
- Filter the locations (water, toilets, big rig friendly, etc) so you only view the locations you what to see.
- Send location data directly to our Road Trip Planner app.
- No login or subscription necessary. Just start the app and use it!

Happy Camping!

## Boondocking Reviews in United States

### ***** "Great App"
I could find many options for an area. Well documented. Find the place link is wonderful!
-- krph8293, 2024-11-06

### *---- "Missing places in Washington"
Doesn’t seem to have my places that I know of
-- Kyle Kotlan, 2024-10-07

### *---- "Not Worth It"
With Colorado being full of free boondocking literally everywhere, this app is virtually no help. There are too many awesome free apps that are right in the money and three times as many tips and locations.
-- OurHenryHouse, 2024-09-27

### ***** "Enjoying all the apps"
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.
-- Vassoelgraen, 2024-07-28

### *---- "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.
-- Boondock Saints RVCC, 2024-06-12

### ***** "Easy to use"
Accurate, updated, helpful!
-- rvhank, 2024-05-08

### ***** "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!
-- Boonies are we, 2023-10-07

### *---- "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.
-- Timothy Tech Toys, 2023-09-14

### **--- "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?
-- snodnedwob, 2023-06-19

### ***** "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.
-- Omie76, 2023-05-23

### **--- "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.
-- SmithWesson44mag, 2023-05-10

### ****- "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?
-- gduge, 2023-01-15

### ***** "I’m so glad to see that I styllmaaa"
Can we iu get the pizza and
-- ttenrab, 2022-10-09

### ***** "Wow!"
It’s a great app for finding free camping sites. You don’t have to buy it nor subscribe to any service. It is free! It is cool! Well worth it.
-- AKAMAC2, 2022-10-02

### *---- "App is Clunky and Unuseable"
App does not show anything useful or helpful for overnighting.
-- LeodogChico, 2022-08-06

### *---- "JUNK!!!!"
shows walmart lots!  & Walmart dosent like campers!!, shows CLOSED PARKS, CLOSED CAMPS, that are noo longer & have Not been campable IN YEARS!
-- lexxverse, 2022-06-04

### ****- "Best BOondocking  app"
This is the easiest app I’ve used so far
-- iz2be, 2022-06-03

### ***** "Boondocking Made Easy"
I find that using BoonDocking works well in Country I don’t know. You can list the filters and zero in on what your needs are. It seems to be accurate and is easy to use. Went to the East Coast last year from Washington state and back and it came in very handy. Heading to the Southwest this week and I know the approximate places I’ll be spending the night and I’ve looked ahead and highlighted different options.
-- sparroweye1, 2022-03-21

### ***** "Walmart stays"
Horrible app… doesn’t have any of the boondocks sites that I know are out there. App is a ripoff
-- Collick66, 2022-02-06

### *---- "I do not understand how this works!’"
This is very complicated and I’m lost
-- Redhead1943, 2021-11-23
