How I Find Scenic RV Boondocking Campsites in the US Southwest

How I Find Scenic RV Boondocking Campsites in the US Southwest

One of the most common questions I get online is – “How do you find those gorgeous southwest desert boondocking locations you visit?”

I wish there was a simple answer, but the fact of the matter is it takes a fair bit of research. There isn’t one all-encompassing site or database to send folks to.

Since the question arises so often, I’ve decided to publish this blog post detailing the various methods and information sources I’ve used.

    Excellent video, I like using google earth to get a idea of what is ahead. Happy New Year!

    Thanks to your effort and willingness to share, we stayed in some great places!!

    Great info ! You laid out a lot of good methods & resources. As you stated, if I may paraphrase, you gotta do a little homework. We employ a lot of the items you mentioned. Talking to fellow campers at sites is usually a good thing. Many years ago I blindly went down a single lane gravel & dirt road for a couple of miles. Came to a dead end. Backing skills got a little workout. Since then I tend to do a little homework first.

    As always a great video & good advice. I really like Campendium & usually dbl check with Google Earth. Wheeling It, I forgot about them!

    Great info and beautiful shots!

  10. Garry Hammond on June 10, 2023 at 2:59 pm

    Yes… …You’ve found some of the most beautiful places to camp on earth. – Thanks Ray – Cheers!

    We are in the process of selling the house and going full time. Can I ask how far ahead you plan?

  12. M Dutchy on June 10, 2023 at 3:00 pm

    I’ve always wanted to go see those giant cactus. Gotta retire first. Few years.

  13. T Kilg on June 10, 2023 at 3:01 pm

    Very helpful, but NOW all those places will be packed next year! Lol.

  14. Larry Grimm on June 10, 2023 at 3:04 pm

    Great tips ray, we are headed west this summer. Larry

    Ray, I have followed your channel for a couple of years (and have really enjoyed your content). I am curious, having never boondocked before, how safe has your experience been. Have you ever had a fear of someone with bad intentions approach you while out in the desert? You certainly have provided some fantastic views for us to enjoy.

    Ray and Ann cheers we just left Ajo and wondered where you dumped your sewer. Alstays sani dump app shows some Rv parks in Ajo but didn’t say if you could use their facilities. Jeff and Liz Bend Oregon.

  18. Eric Cowan on June 10, 2023 at 3:12 pm

    Another outstanding video Thank you very much, Ray for this helpful info!

  19. Bill Fisher on June 10, 2023 at 3:16 pm

    Great info, Ray! Thank you!

  20. Bill Grant on June 10, 2023 at 3:26 pm

    Hey Ray, have you camped in Terilngua, TX? Really cool place near the Mexican border.

  21. William Illman on June 10, 2023 at 3:26 pm

    Great content and resources. Given that you travel relatively close to the southern boarder with Mexico, have you ever encountered anyone who may have crossed the boarder seeking a ride, water etc. If so how have you dealt with this situation?

    Great video and very informative. As a subscriber, I do appreciate detailed info from creators on RV tips for sure. Thanks, take care and safe travels. Dave.

    Ray my heart becomes warm when you reach AZ, knowing you are hear and everything is safe. Your winter travels are my favorite. I live through yours and Ann’s eyes so maybe one day I can Rv travel. Enjoy your post and blogs. Southeast AZ resident.
