Some may call this #glamping š or #boondocking āŗļø
Dispersed camping means little to no amenities. No reservations and you may not see other campers. You are in the woods or on some open land that is isolated. We were lucky enough this trip to have a generator that kept the RV running for heat and water, but it was all about navy showers and cooking over the fire āØļø
Here are 8 tips on #dispersedcamping :
1ļøā£ Research ahead of time locations at state parks, national parks and forest service lands. These are typically some of the most beautiful spots to camp in the United States.
2ļøā£ Disperse camping usually means little to no cell service. Bring a paper map šŗ just in case! Or download @thedyrt app which I believe works off wifi or data!
3ļøā£ BRING: gallons of water, extra blankets, flashlights, whistle, extra food, proper storage containers for food so no wild life can access, hand sanitizer, first aid kit, & extra layer clothes!
4ļøā£ FIRES: āØļø If you are staying in a park or national forest, make sure to check out their fire guidelines and restrictions ahead of time. For fire staring be sure to bring: newspaper, marches, small wood & logs. Dry wood Preferred of course. Lighter fluid if need be! Do some reading about minimizing campfire impact please š
5ļøā£ FOOD & COFFEE: Campfire food just taste better. Am I right? Get yourself a cooking grate that you can lay over the fire & cook so many yummy foods! You can boil water for instant coffee or tea, cook meat or get a cast iron pan for cooking of all things!
6ļøā£ TAKE A NAVY SHOWER to converse your water! A navy shower (also known as a "combat shower", "military shower", "sea shower", is a method of showering that allows for significant conservation of water and energy by turning off the flow of water in the middle portion of the shower while lathering.
7ļøā£ Leave no trace! Clean up your trash, dig a hole for bathroom use and fill it if you donāt have a toilet. Be respectful of the land!! Leave it better than you found it āŗļø
8ļøā£ Use your best judgement and be aware of your surroundings. If it feels unsafe , then move onto a new spot!
Most important- HAVE FUN! šš
