Is your idea of camping being hooked up to utilities in an RV park? Or do you prefer a somewhat secluded experience in a government campground, state park, or national forest, for example?
But how about camping far from the crowds? Is that more your thing, where the only sights and sounds are those of nature—no cars or RVs passing by, no screaming children, no barking dogs, no sounds of loud stereos?
Most RVers call that boondocking. Is that where you head when you set out on an RV adventure?
For many of you, boondocking offers a true sense of freedom. The ability to choose your own spot, away from the constraints of designated sites, is part of the allure. It’s a chance to fully immerse yourself in nature, relying on your own resources and enjoying the peace and quiet that comes with being far from civilization. Ah, nobody else around…
In this poll, we’re asking how often you hole up at least a mile from another RV, other dwelling or other building(s)—even a remote cabin, general store, ranger station—anything but what nature provided without any assistance from humans.
Remember, if you are on a slow connection, it may take a few moments for the poll to load. So stand by. It will be right along, and well worth the wait. As always, thank you for voting!

We dry camp at dog trials.
We use to all the time, but now needing electricity for our CPaps and Reefer for our two week stays, we can’t do it any more so State Parks and Sleeping Bear Dunes is the next best thing to being in nature.
Past tense, I’ve never done it. Future tense, never say never. I have the tools I need to do it.
There is safety in numbers used to be true but maybe not these days. I do want someone else within 1/4 mile but not necessarily next to me.
I never boon-dock period.
I found it interesting that those of you who like to boondock are always very vocal about doing it. But today’s poll shows that the vast majority of us do NOT! Lol To each their own.
