What is Boondocker’s Bible?
Boondocker’s Bible is intended to be a “fact-based” guide to off-grid camping, dispersed camping, and free camping. It’s geared primarily to RVers, van-dwellers, skoolies, and car-campers. Its goal is to present fact-checked answers to questions about boondocking, public lands, laws and regulations.
Geared for Beginners
Boondocker’s Bible was written with the beginning boondocker in mind. It’s assumed you already have a vehicle to boondock in, and may have even boondocked a little. It’s also assumed that you’ve already spent a good deal of time in developed campgrounds and RV parks and are ready to get far away from crowds and expensive fees.
