As a potential RV renter planning a camping trip, it’s important to consider whether you’ll be staying at a campground or boondocking. Understanding the differences between these options can help you determine which is best suited for your needs.
- Will you be looking to utilize a campground or will you be boondocking?
Campgrounds typically offer designated sites with various amenities, such as electrical, water, and sewer hookups, as well as restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities. They may also provide recreational amenities like playgrounds, swimming pools, or organized activities. Campgrounds usually require a reservation and have nightly or weekly fees.
Boondocking, also known as dry camping or dispersed camping, refers to camping without any hookups or amenities, often in remote, off-grid locations. This option is generally free or low-cost, but it requires a higher level of self-sufficiency and preparation.
- Do you know the difference between campground camping and boondocking?
The main differences between campground camping and boondocking are the availability of amenities, the level of privacy and solitude, and the associated costs. Campground camping provides access to facilities and services but usually comes with a fee, while boondocking offers a more isolated, off-grid experience without amenities and is typically free or low-cost.
- Do you know what is best for you?
Determining the best option for your camping trip depends on your preferences, budget, and experience with RV camping.
Choose campground camping if you:
- Prefer access to amenities and facilities.
- Are a beginner RVer or less comfortable with off-grid camping.
- Enjoy the social aspect of being around other campers.
- Are willing to pay fees for a more comfortable experience.
Choose boondocking if you:
- Enjoy solitude and a more remote, natural setting.
- Are comfortable with off-grid living and self-sufficiency.
- Have a well-equipped RV with adequate power, water, and waste storage capabilities.
- Want to save money by avoiding campground fees.
By assessing your needs and preferences, you can determine whether campground camping or boondocking is the best option for your RV camping trip.
