Boondockers Welcome

[DavidM]

I have a good friend who is traveling up in Canada right now. He introduced me to Boondockers Welcome, an online service that matches up campers with hosts who have a free place where you can park your rig for the night. See: https://www.boondockerswelcome.com/

I haven't used it yet, and I probably won't but my friend has camped at these free host sites for a few weeks now and has always had a good experience. These sites are usually rural and some are absolutely beautiful, such as one that backs up to a small river in New Brunswick. Some have power and water available and a few have sanitary connections where the host obviously set up a pad for his own RV and made it big enough for 1 or 2 extras. A small gratuity is expected for these additional services.

You search for sites using a base location and a radius outwards as well as dates you are interested in. Then click on the RV icon for a detailed listing of that particular site. The listing gives size and stay restrictions- usually 2-5 days. You then contact the host through their secure message facility and request a reservation.

Many hosts as you might imagine are extroverts and some will invite you in for a drink or even dinner. Your choice to accept or decline, but they are always helpful.

Give it a try.

That is cool that there is even spot in New Brunswick! I should look it up it could be fun even if I travel not too far away

My friend John is staying at many of the sites in NB, PEI and NS. He can tell us all about them when we meetup in August at Riviere a la Peche.
