After more than six years on the road—and hundreds of nights off-grid—we’re sharing our take on boondocking in an RV vs. staying in campgrounds. From the freedom and views of dispersed camping to the comforts and community of RV parks, we’re breaking down the real pros and cons of each.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Boondocking for beginners

• Our favorite spots for boondocking

• When we choose campgrounds over boondocking—and why

• Our top RV boondocking tips from years of experience

Whether you’re brand new to RV life or ready to try your first night under the stars, this episode will help you find the balance that fits your travel style best.

In this episode, we take you along for one of our favorite Arizona adventures — camping, boondocking, and off-roading through the Coconino National Forest! 🌲🚙

We share how we found the perfect boondocking spot on Forest Road 128, explored Forest Road 128 to Marshall Lake, Anderson Mesa via Winona Ranch Road, and celebrated Tony’s birthday with a full day of fun at Cinder Hills OHV. From wildlife sightings to steak dinners with a view (and even testing out our new Ironman 4x4 Bush Toilet 😄).
