Boondocking App Reviews

Disappointed. Whats the point in getting this App if you have to buy more apps to figure out where to boondock? Not good

Great site. It seems easy enough to use. As a new wannabe boondocker, I appreciate all the work that has been put into this app and those too who have contributed their information which is so helpful for newbies as well as those looking for a new place to explore. I have been doing research for my first roadtrip and this has already helped.

Boondocking Made Easy. I find that using BoonDocking works well in Country I don’t know. You can list the filters and zero in on what your needs are. It seems to be accurate and is easy to use. Went to the East Coast last year from Washington state and back and it came in very handy. Heading to the Southwest this week and I know the approximate places I’ll be spending the night and I’ve looked ahead and highlighted different options.

The app I’ve been searching for. Such a cool resource- just wish there were more spots to boondock!

Can’t save new site. I’ve thought it was odd that there is not a lot of stuff listed in vA. Now I’m thinking it’s be you can’t save sites. This app doesn’t seem as helpful as I would like and will likely delete it. When you try to save it, you get a message that the email is not valid but there is no way to add one or check the email for the app.

Wow!. It’s a great app for finding free camping sites. You don’t have to buy it nor subscribe to any service. It is free! It is cool! Well worth it.

Great App. I could find many options for an area. Well documented. Find the place link is wonderful!

Excellent app!. I love this app! I love the detailed explanations of each area Thank you!

Location. Doesn’t show my true location even though my location is turned on

Our first experience with this app and we got a ticket. We parked in the spot were you can “boondock” according with this app in Santa Monica and we got a ticket. Not happy about this. The app doesn’t have a feature where you can let people know that is not a free parking either.

Great app esp if we all contribute. This app is great, but we all need to contribute sites to improve number of sites.

The very best for ease and price!. I love this app! It’s always been great and has never once let me down and I camp A LOT. Many of the sites are actually free campsites for tents and RVs the like. I happened on a really nice camping area on the Kilchis River that was far beyond any dreamy hopes or expectations. I use that forest constantly now and would never have known about it if it weren’t for this App.

Enjoying all the apps. Been out here for only a week and these apps have already been helpful. The one thing I can’t find is a good guide to public libraries, and thought that would be a nice plugin app. On the other hand, maybe public libraries, financed by locals for locals, might be off putting for increasing wifi traffic and computer usage. Just a thought/suggestion for another project.

Good app but. It needs more user entries for boondocks locations but that would be counter to many who boondock as their fav spots will get busier...so I suspect many don’t make entries. Not sure how to “fix” that but I’m certain it is a hinderance to increasing entries.

Please update. Times are changing and things are not as they were… It’s 2023 , can we really park, overnight, or camp there like we could just two short years ago?

Post more!!. I wish people would post more!! Hard finding secluded places that haven’t been over run! I know if you tell people the will come but still!!

No info on what kind of camping.. It kind of defeats the purpose of the app that no information is given about size. Space for tent camping, or 25’ trailer, or class A motor homes. Some sites have a little info, but mostly you are guessing if you will fit.

not trending lightly. the app is hard to use and yet it seems easy to see that it encourages the use of illegal sites for camping — I can’t think of any other reason “abandoned buildings/houses” and “neglected property” would be listed under available sites.

Not Worth It. With Colorado being full of free boondocking literally everywhere, this app is virtually no help. There are too many awesome free apps that are right in the money and three times as many tips and locations.

Limited database. As opposed to the 6,000+ FREE campsites on other apps- this is by far the most pathetic data base. While only a handful of locations come up in Arizona alone, you can’t help but laugh. There are far better apps clearly developed by more passionate individuals who undoubtedly have a greater appreciation for the outdoors than this app attempts to portray. Accessing a more accurate database would a lone be a phenomenal service to this app- displaying just some of the lack behind this app.

Sales Savings. Exactly what I need to know as I travel for work in 7 states

Limited Data. I find this app useless since it has never identified a Boondocking site that was not readily available with other more comprehensive FREE apps. I like the idea, but the app just does not have the data necessary to make it useful. I regret paying for this app.

Getting directions. Does anybody know if you can put the coordinates in to get directions to some of the sites?

Walmart stays. Horrible app… doesn’t have any of the boondocks sites that I know are out there. App is a ripoff

Useful campsite finder. It appears the greatest challenge for developers of apps such as these is gathering data and keeping it fresh. This app appears to have one of the more limited data sets but it’s one the most up to date.

Just what I was hoping for!. Boondocking is my favorite kind of RV camping. I’m glad someone took the time to put this together! Love it. Would be nice to have more pictures of the camp spots. And the ability to add reviews so that people could leave their experiences and tips. For what it is, it’s a great way to find the camping we’ve been wanting to do with our new trailer. Thank you!

Just Beginning!. Just starting out our Adventure Living On The Road in Bertha the Berkshire! Love this app!

Needs A Way to Type In A City Name. This App blows because there’s no way to easily find the place you’re seeking. I’ve spent the better part if the past 10 minutes trying to find Murphy, NC on the map. I’m having to flip back and forth between your map and Google maps to reference roads and larger cities in an effort to locate the town. About to give up and delete the app. Ugh!!

I’m so glad to see that I styllmaaa. Can we iu get the pizza and

An awesome way to travel. Ive been looking for an app like this forever. It makes the drives across the country sooooo much easier to handle. In the era of corona virus it makes it a lot safer too

I’m not sure what is meant by “title”.. Lots of descriptions are very old and I assume obsolete. Many were last updated in 2018. I’m writing this in June 2023. Have the developers given up on this app?

Just getting started. Just getting started. We will see how it turns out.

Missing several locations. I’ve been traveling through the PNW, there are so many places to stop that are not listed on this app, same it’s not really accurate to what is available out there, waste of an app.

Update - Boondocking. Location was exactly as stated we stayed 2 nights, several other locations nearby off of a logging road. We stayed Saturday & Sunday March 2 & 3, 2019. Scott

Frustrating. When I try to zoom in to read details, the type doesn’t get bigger. Also it doesn’t shoe where I am. No context. Useless.

Great for road trips!. I’m having fun planning my road trip!

Love this app. We are full time RV’ers, and mostly boondock. This app has helped us find more places with better accuracy than any other app. Fun and easy to use.

Too difficult to use. Either I’m a moron or this ap is incredibly difficult to use. Couldn’t get any info for the area I was in and never updated so all I got were the same sites that did not apply to me

Land of the free. Love this apps gives you everything you need to know about a place you want to visit an amazing info such a breeze!

Best App for Me. The Boon Docking app has worked well for me to the point where it is the only one I trust. I have used it from East coast home to Washington State both middle and northern routes. I have also used it from home to Las Vegas with camping for two weeks in New Mexico and Arizona on the way and returning via Colorado all the way to PA. I think it is easiest to use and very reliable.

Great Website. The website is a great concept in the developing stages. It’s up to us to add the truly great camping spots.

Where are all the Boondocking locations. I’ve used this app for a few years. Everything was great. Now there’s no dispersed locations. Just Walmart and truck stops. Even the ones I pinned. I am an admin for a Boondocking group and promoted this app often. Now I have to give it a bad review. Unfortunately, I’m just going to delete it.

We love it!. My fiancé and I use this app frequently to find good places to camp out for the night during trips. The description section is great and it has helped us many times!

Not much here unless I'm missing something. Really only shows primitive campgrounds that can easily be found on google maps. Google maps can be downloaded for access without cell service also.

Easy to use. Accurate, updated, helpful!

Great app. This app has been extremely helpful it has led us into many great boondocking places with the 27’ class c Thank you for helping us out

User I/F needs great deal of work to make it more user friendly. To leave proper review need much more time and space

RV Boondocking mainly. Mostly for RV people. I am not a picky camper. I seek only what is free, often looking for discreet BLM or National Forest sites. No amenities. Many campsites are unmentioned in certain regions, so its hit-or-miss. Use this app along with one or two others because it does not cover all regions with the same depth, and the sites included in the app are suited more for RVs.

Very helpful. I find this very helpful, I haven’t boondocked LOL but when in need while RV traveling I feel assure this will come in handy...

Overlanding 2019. This app has been very helpful when camping, I travel all over the Pacific coast from Washington to Mexico. I enjoy having the ability to search new a different places each month. I recommend this app.

Few locations. There is a total of 644 locations.

Bon site pratique. J’utilise beaucoup le site quand je planifie mes différents voyages avec la roulotte, l’information est toujours très utile. Merci

Useless in Canada. No Canadian sites listed.

Great travel tool. We found this site helps us search out local parks like city parks. Great description left by other boondockers. plan to use it quite a bit this summer.

Version française. Peut on l’avoir en français

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

So disappointed. I bought this to more easily identify boon docking locations in my state. I already have maps for general locations and thought this would make it easier and more portable to find more boondocking campsites. This app shows only four boon docking locations in the entire state of Idaho. FOUR! If you didn't know Idaho has the highest percentage of public lands in the lower 48. I thought the problem would be too many locations showing up. I suspect this app was created for users to contribute by identifying boon docking locations, but this is not indicated anywhere in the description. If there was a way to return for a refund I would. This app is a complete waste of money.

Don’t Assume. Don’t assume because it’s on this app, that it’s okay. Plymouth MA does not allow camping on the beach!

Impressive. Loved it

Not good. App is great if you want a Walmart locator. That’s all that seems to show up.

Disappointing. Very disappointed in the usability of this App. Had read an online article that suggested it, but no way to check it out before purchase. That would be helpful and would reduce poor reaction to the App.

Revision, don't waste your time/money on this app. Just bought my 34' travel trailer in Pennsylvania and towed it back to Texas. Along the route, we tried to stay at one of the sites listed on the app. We got about half way up a very narrow road, then found that it was a private road. The people bought the federal land 6 years ago. They were very nice and helped me back my travel trailer down a mountain in the dark. Don't use this app.

Best BOondocking app. This is the easiest app I’ve used so far

Not useful. Not really sure of what is the function of this apps and how it got a positive review .

No campgrounds. I live close to 7 camp grounds but it only shows 2, not a good start for an app to help you find new places

Location. Location. Location.. Not enough locations listed

Very inadequate. Even Allstays has more boondocking areas listed. Many BLM, COE and NF sites are not listed. Worthless.

Can’t Figure It Out. Help was no help and I don’t know how to use this app!!!

Great locations that nobody knows about. If you're a van tramper like me, or have a smaller rig and want to get off the beaten path, this app is awesome. You'll find locations in here that are not listed in Days End or freecampsites, but the same vice versa, you have to use them all together when you're constantly on the move like I am. Combine this with his other ultimate campground app for sure!

Bendb. Rfg

IGA parking lot in Amos Quebec. Ok to park overnight here on the parking lot per Customer Service in the stop.

Bad app. I am setting 1/4 mile from the Golden Spike national Park in Promontory and it tells me I am 35 miles away. I have tried to search salt Lake for places to stay and it tells me zero for the search

Missing places in Washington. Doesn’t seem to have my places that I know of

Got almost nothing. Very little information in the database. Not useful to me at all. Maybe someday.

Poor. I asked though a email twice for help and never got it. I had difficulty navigating.

Wut. I thought this was going to combine national forest and state forest backpack camping but the closest thing it showed me was a Cabellas

I camp, don’t do RV.. This app is totally worthless

Oregon. First time using it for camping in Oregon. No doing much for us... poor to none information. Clumsy App. Will use it for one week before de deciding if keep or delete. Thanks

Bmwbetsy. Super APP!!!!!!!

Needs better search. The search seems to only cover where you are at that particular moment. It really needs to allow users to see locations outside of their current area, otherwise it is limited to quick reference, not for planning at all.

Fri sex F. Try

Poor. I have numerous BoonDocking locations but I can't input them to this app by dropping a pin. The app author doesn't seem to understand what dropping a pin means. Even the Forest Service understands the concept. Make it easy to add to the database! I want to share....

Free fity Free!!!. Great app for free camping!!! But don’t forget to check with your local forestry services first!!

App is Clunky and Unuseable. App does not show anything useful or helpful for overnighting.

Good spot to start...... Easy to find,so far so good.....

Good hard to come by info. The detail was unexpected. Excellent resource.

Where’s the search ?. Where’s the search icon for an area??

Not intuitive at all.. Deleted.

I cannot figure out how to update my contact information. I could not figure out contact info

Sales Savings. Exactly what I need to know as I travel for work in 7 states

Interrupts me to beg for a review.. My standard policy is to award one star to any app that interrupts mine to beg for a review.

Really? One 2 remote sites in ADK?. Well, this was a waste of $.99. It showed two remote campsites in the Adirondacks. Sigh.

Not practical as a mobile device.. I could load this database if I could scan the map and drop a pin from my iPhone. Instead it appears to lack advertised buttons or an intuitive way to mark sweet spots.

Map of the Boonies. Great concept! Not sure how frequently these are updated by users, but it's a great roadmap to find free camping areas near where you are. Certainly it's not going to show every spot that exists, but it will get you headed in the right direction, where you can find your own little spot.

Yes. V good idea

Simple, no frills, Extremely helpful. I love this app. Every road trip involves this app at some point. Finding free spots to park and camp is super easy, I can even share the location with friends on the fly. This particular collection of boondock sites aren't well publicized, so 99% of the time there is no other campers at these locations. I have never had a problem finding or camping at these spots. Long live the Boondocking app!

Even for 99 cents its a waste. What a waste

Nothing no pins no sites no filter! Worthless! Can’t find anything now. Waste of time.. Nothing no pins no sites no filter! Worthless! Can’t find anything of relevance.

JUNK!!!!. shows walmart lots! & Walmart dosent like campers!!, shows CLOSED PARKS, CLOSED CAMPS, that are noo longer & have Not been campable IN YEARS!

I do not understand how this works!’. This is very complicated and I’m lost

JuJu. I have been unable to figure out how to add a review. The information for the location I was interested in was out of date.

Nothing works!. Hardly any sites and now I know why! Trying to add a site and it keeps telling me “send email failed!” Funny, everything else on my phone works. Waste of time.

No locations found?!. I know where there are many good boondocking spots near my home town. Stands to reason this app will leave me high and dry when I need it.

Missing a lot of free campsites. And some campsites listed aren’t camping areas.. Needs validation of sites

Too few campsites. In Washington state and no campsites listed

Useless. Can’t plan a trip. Won’t let you enter a destination to plan a route. Very useless for my needs.
