Camp Hacks for Nomads

Boondocking (free) sites

Search the map for;

Walmart Supercenters

Use satellite maps to find white lined parking spaces, or other RV’s and trucks

Cabellas

(Possibly Bass Pro and other large outdoor stores)

Casinos

Rest Areas

Truck Stops

literally search for “truck stops”

Flying J

Loves

Pilot

Buckys

etc.

Most of these places are easily accessible with any RV, but you can always look at the satellite maps in advance to plan an easier entrance/exit.

BLM, LTVA

Bureau of Land Management

Long Term Visitor Area

Arizona and California have multiple areas

These are mostly found in the South West US, but are well worth looking for.

Many are either free, or require a very inexpensive permit

The best part is that you can un-hitch the trailer and stay a while!

Some websites to check for free overnight parking

I am working on this personal collection – Camp Map

Camping discounts

Clubs

Use Referring Member number C-702863 for referral discounts

Many sites have restrictions based on season, or max # of nights.

Good Sam

Parks usually offer around a 10% discount on nightly rates

Thousand Trails

I have no experience with this, but may be worth a look

Use Google Maps to locate RV parks, check the park website for weekly, monthly, and seasonal rates

Precautions

For your first times, be sure to land at the site during daylight. It makes parking and setup much easier. This is also helpful as many camp offices close early.

This doesn’t apply to boondocking

Be mindful of the wind before you start towing
