Since I began RVing, I’ve discovered that for every crazy person willing to let go of physical roots and hit the open road there is an equally crazy person eager to have this RVing stranger stay on their property.

Well, there is a new online community, brought to you by Marianne Edwards of Frugal RV Travel, to help these two groups meet up: Boondockers Welcome.

Boondockers Welcome‘s purpose is to provide a database of both private boondocking locations and of RVers looking for a friendly, free, overnight spot. The site is well thought out, offering an opportunity for both the boondocker and the host  to provide plenty of pertinent information about each other. For example, a boondocker can say in their profile that they prefer to park and pull out without talking to the host, while the host can say ahead of time if BBQs, dogs, awnings, generators, etc. are allowed. There is also a recommendations or ratings option to help folks build up their reputation. The site is also open to users worldwide!

Please check out Boondockers Welcome and create a user profile offering a boondocking spot to receive a gift for being a founding member of a site that fills a much needed void in the RVing community.
