One dictionary defines boondocks as slang for rough backwoods or bush country. The term "boondocking" is synonymous with "dispersed camping" or "dry camping" and is used to describe camping in the midst of nature without the use of commercial campgrounds and hookups.

The Boondocking Guide is dedicated to sharing experiences and knowledge about the many beautiful and  interesting boondocking locations in North America, with special emphasis on western Canada, United States and Mexico.

Long Term Visitor Areas (LTVAreas) in Arizona and California are featured for your information as well as some excellent links to other sites in North America.  Be sure to click on Dean's List and, for those headed for the Phoenix area, check out the Special Announcement on the Destinations page.

Check the Routes page for travel services and overnight rest stops while traveling as well as cellular phone, internet, email and money conversion information.

With your suggestions and input, it is hoped that the Boondocking Guide will continue to be one of the best boondocking information sites on the internet.
