HOW TO FIND THE BEST FREE CAMPSITES | Boondocking For RV Life Beginners

Is it possible to find beautiful, free places to camp in your RV? Absolutely! We boondocked in our Grand Design Travel Trailer just outside of Banff National Park FOR FREE! It was our first time boondocking on public land and it feels like we just unlocked a secret code to budget friendly, full-time RV life. Using Campendium and iOverlander we found a gorgeous, waterfront campsite that feels like it's going to be tough to beat on our year long rv trip. If you're wondering how to find great boondocking spots- start by watching this YouTube video for RV life beginners.

Thanks for watching!

You can use a cordless drill with proper socket to quickly and effortlessly lower or rail your sizzler jacks. Works great. Enjoy and be safe

If you’re still in Washington you should get a Discovery Pass and enjoy many other locations and just pass Ellensburg off of Highway 90 is a place called Quincy Lake and it has many lakes and camp site that you may enjoy which in one location can stay up to 14 days with that pass.

Another thing about glacial-fed rivers and streams? They're full of silt, so you need a ton of filtration to drink from them. Having lived within a mile of the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, AK, I wouldn't advise it.

I wanna move to the US and live in an rv fulltime and only dry camping unless there is no place for that in that area. But I'm not gonna watch my water use or shower in a river😂 There are other options if you are near a river.. you can buy special water pumps that pump water from a river through a filter and make it drinkable and fill up the water tank in your rv.🤷 That's what I'm gonna do. I'm always gonna dry camp near a river and use a special water pump to fill up the tank with river water that is filtered.

Omg!! What are the coordinates for this spot?

Hi there! Sorry if this is a dumb question…. You’re allowed to bathe in the water like that with soap ect?

[amandacaffey]

Omg Crissa looked like she was in labor! 😅😂😳 that was horrifying and I’m so proud of you!

Thanks for sharing another great adventure, George and Crissa. My most important takeaway from it is to make sure I shave
my armpits before entering the cold, crisp river near Banff 🏞. 🥶 😂 Keep up the great work. Signed your friend in Tampa, Florida. ☀️ 🏝

Comment: I absolutely love the RV life! It's such a great way to explore the outdoors and spend quality time with family. Speaking of outdoor gear, have you heard about the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It's a versatile powerhouse that can keep your devices and appliances running for extended periods. With its massive capacity and fast recharging time, it's perfect for outdoor enthusiasts like us. Check it out!

I would never be able to get in that water. I would have to boil on campfire and use it.

Thanks George & Cris on this insightful video about bathing in glacial melt water. Wishing to avoid a similar stimulating experience (at my age it'd probably result in a heart attack), I am now going down to the basement and rummage through my old backpacking stuff to find my Sunshower and putting it in the camper.

so you made a video that just said “we used iOverlander and Campendium” … dislike, not subscribing. how about more info that you claimed would be in the video? coordinates to this spot? packing list? research process? cost of propane and RV use versus campground?

[MyWorldW]

This is not a boondocking experience there's many structures already built. I'm sorry but this is not a boondocking at all it's a not the complete experience what I called wild camping
