MEET OUR HAPPY GUESTS

“Boondockers Welcome has been a blessing. It's not just a place to stay, you
meet so many great people. We have had everything from levelling blocks made in
our host's workshop, loan tools, fresh bread and garden produce, local
sightseeing trips in hosts' cars, to fishing and boat trips, but always great
company and conversation. Its added so many special memories to our trip. BW is
a life experience you have to part of, sign up now, you will not regret it.”

“We LOVE it. Great people, very friendly and helpful. It is great to be able to
pull into a driveway and feel at home, you don't have to worry over getting that
knock on the door in the middle of the night.”

“Boondockers Welcome rocks! I decided to give my new Boondockers Welcome
membership a shot. I picked a place, and all I can say is WOW. My host was so
friendly, her land was to die for gorgeous, and she even gave me some fresh-laid
eggs from her chickens. I went to sleep and woke up to a fantastic view of the
Sierra foothills and horses happily playing in their corral but feet from my
van. For both of us, this was our first Boondockers experience. We are off to a
great start.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Is Boondockers Welcome only for RVers? A: To be a guest on the site you must
be traveling in a self-contained RV. NO tents, mini-vans, cars, SUVs, or pick-up
trucks will be allowed to join as guests. Travel trailers, motorhomes, and truck
campers are welcome. Most hosts are also RVers, but others join for a variety of
reasons: They may be considering buying an RV, retired from RVing, enjoy meeting
and introducing travelers to their region, have a property they enjoy sharing,
enjoy hearing traveler's stories, or own a small business and, like Walmart,
hope to gain a customer. Q: What does "self-contained" mean? And why is this a
requirement for guests?

A: A self-contained RV is one that is set up to allow all functions of living
(sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation) to be handled completely while
inside the RV. You must have a toilet with a separate waste holding tank, and a
sink that is installed, and the drain connected by plumbing to a grey water
holding tank. A self-composting or portable toilet is acceptable but only if it
has a separate sealed-off waste tank. A removable greywater tank is also
acceptable but it must be secured in place and have a watertight seal between
the tank and pipe or hose connecting it to the sink. See examples at the bottom
of this article of acceptable and unacceptable toilets and sinks.

Homemade or custom conversions are acceptable but must still meet the
requirement of being self-contained. Buses, cargo vans, and box trailers can be
converted but we will NOT accept tents, mini-vans, cars, SUVs, or pick-up trucks
(RV truck campers are fine as long as they are fully self-contained). The
vehicle should be able to be reassigned and registered as an RV (though the
reassignment is not a requirement to be a guest).

This means it has to be designed and built for human habitation and contain
facilities for safe food storage, cooking, eating, sleeping and washing so that
all functions of living can happen while inside the RV. The bed or fold-out
couch/table that converts to a bed must be built-in (not a mattress on the
floor). There must be ventilation, lighting, and built-in cabinets to properly
secure items during transit.

Q: What is boondocking, anyway? A: Boondocking (or dry camping) refers to
staying in an RV in a remote location for free without being hooked up to water,
power, or sewer. Most RVers spend at least some nights parked without hook-ups,
if only while traveling between destinations. Parking overnight at a truck stop,
rest area, or Walmart parking lot is common. This is sometimes referred to as
"blacktop boondocking." Q: I have converted my car/pick-up truck/mini-van into
an RV, can I join? A: No, sorry. Our hosts have signed on with the expectation
they'll only receive stay requests from travelers in fully self-contained RVs.
Q: Are there rules of etiquette for members? A: Yes. They're basic common
courtesy. But just to be sure there's no misunderstanding, we also require all
guests to agree to a courtesy contract. Q: Do hosts charge a fee? A: Our hosts
are not permitted to charge for parking. Free overnight RV parking (boondocking)
is the whole idea of this platform. It's not intended to be an income source for
hosts. They may, however, ask to be compensated for costs if a guest chooses to
use any provided hookups, as long as free parking without hookups is always an
option. Hosts are encouraged to include their expected compensation on their
host location profile, but these must be reasonable and only cover costs.
