Absolutely the best RV video I've seen yet on ANY topic. So glad I watched this, your camping spots are always so amazing. Thanks for sharing your methods with us. Subscribed!

Actually, let me rephrase that. This has been one of the most informative rv videos I have ever seen!

Dangit Marc your giving away all the secrets!!! But seriously what a great informative video. We are certainly blessed to have the vast amount of pubic lands out here in the west. Take Care and Safe Travels!! 👍🍻 Sean

Whoa! Just grabbed my laptop and a notepad to watch this a 2nd time. You just did a lot to ease my worries about my plan to go full time next fall. Thanks sooo much!

This is by far the best boondocking video guide I've ever watched. Thank you so much for sharing.

The wonderful panoramic drone shots are alone worth price of admission. No - Wait - But there's More !! Boondocking insider tips are pure gold for those who want seclusion. He did mention, but skipped over, the dirt airstrip who may boondock as back country flyers.

My oldest son turns 18 today. I stumbled on this channel/video last night. We love camping and the outdoors, and he’s got an XJ Cherokee he’s in love with and he has big dreams and high hopes of using his Jeep to take him to cool places. I’m sending this video to him as an eye opening reminder of just how amazing, awe inspiring and spectacular this great big country is, and how much there is for him to get out there and see and do as a young adult! 😎

It looks like for me, the best reason for boondocking is to allow my dog to roam without a leash! What a treat that would be, both for her and for me. Thank you for these videos. 🐕🐕‍🦺🐕

I just wished this video never ended! This video gave so much info in 20 minutes which I wouldn't have gathered in 20 hours of research!

Ok I’m sold wow what a view. I want to park right on the edge of the wedge!! Love the real Jurassic park. Bummer on the walls, I remember watching this a while ago. Lar

We really appreciate how you show everything as opposed to just saying use this and that, etc.... 😀 Also, love the terrain option on GM - didn't know they had that! Thanks for all the helpful info!! 👍💗

I agree with the comment that this is one of the most informative videos I have seen! Thank you for sharing! I am a newbie but I am concerned with the about the closings of many campsites due to covid-19. I also am concerned about too many people camping making it hard to find a campsite. I am not ready yet to rv but your information is spot on for me!

WOW, I saw this listed when you first posted and figured, OH another campendium video.... My apologies, this is the MOST detailed and best video I’ve watched showing how to find Free camping; whether it be BLM, state or local. And all the links that are needed to download work perfectly.... Thank you....

Having bought a truck camper and 4 wheel drive truck about a year ago and also sharing your version of boondocking I find this video invaluable. My wife and I live in Tennessee and want to travel west so the information on finding camp spots on public land is a blessing! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for clarifying. I’m sure I’ll be watching it more than once. Happy travels😎

This is a really incredible tutorial for using maps to find locations to camp! I've never found an explanation as thorough and helpful as this one! Thank you so much!

Well done Sir. These will become invaluable tools when I get my RV someday. Thank you!

Thank you for your thorough step by step process. My husband and I are heading west for the first time in a 29 foot toyhauler. We are adding solar and power system to venture into the boondocks..however it’s quite overwhelming to plan as this is all new to us but it’s what we envision rving should be. I continue to come back to your videos time and again..giving me a better understanding and feeling more confident that we can actually do this!

So very helpful! I'd been an avid backpacker for 30 years but age and arthritis put the brakes on it. I missed the peace and beauty of being out in nature away from others, so when I learned that one could actually camp in such places as you've shown us. I'd found various maps of public land but they were a bit difficult to understand and use, especially the kind that zoom you right into outer space the minute you try to move the cursor around in them. But by you naming the maps, explaining what we were looking at, and what exactly you were looking for with each of them, you made the process clear enough to give us hope. We are about to go on our first real boondocking adventure with confidence. I can hardly wait to get back into the wilderness again after 15 years! Thank you so very much!

The BEST concise efficient explanation to find boondocking sites, and makes it easy to understand! Much appreciated!

Mark - I have watch most of your videos (not all yet) and you are truly a pleasure to watch. Your style (unaffected - natural) and "to-the-point" style make your videos easy to watch and learn from. You are always informative and - after all - that is what a lot of us look forward to in "RV LIFE" videos. We have pretty much been Camp Ground RVing, and are now looking to expand our adventures into dispersed camping. Looking forward to more from you and to hear about how your liking your new rig.

i am sooo encouraged!!! about to launch out on my first adventure and have been anxious about how to find remote spots with all the camping going on out there. THANK YOU for the detailed lesson!! i am now getting more excited. very true…worth the work…and you have done much of it for me!

This is GREAT! Thanks for putting it together. It recreates the "old days" of going to the Forest Service and purchasing an actual map to spread over the hood of your truck and the orienteering to your spot! I did this mostly back in the day for hunting spots, understanding the terrain, any accessible roads, etc. Thanks again for posting! Great to know the resources are still there and FAR more advanced!

Hello Mark. I write from Santiago de Chile. I just found your videos. I have been a caravanner for a year. Excellent video and ideas for boondocking in Chile, where we also have plenty of public lands that can be accessed. For that reason, your advice has been a tremendous contribution to this newbie. Congratulations and I will continue watching his excellent videos. I'm already subscribed. Greetings from the south of the world. Good and safe trips.

That is a great video. Lots of information and well explained. Thanks for creating this! We have not boondocked yet. We want to, but lots of things we were not sure about. watching this makes us feel better about boondocking!

Always a pleasure Marc. The first minute and a half hooked me on this one. Enjoy-

Outstanding! Another extremely helpful and practical video. Thank you! I have watched endless hours of RV videos in the last few weeks. Some just don't compare well to you. Everytime I watch one of yours, I know it's going to be worthwhile. You are a terrific teacher.

Some epic drone in the intro, funny, I’m watching on the tv, commenting on phone at same time. , great info on Boondocking , I’ve got to spend some time on the maps. Lar

What an absolutely easier show and tell, much appreciate you sharing your knowledge in layman’s terms

Great video. Gives lots of information that will allow people to locate sites by themselves. Please, keep it up!

Excellent video. I had to laugh when you zeroed in on the exact campsite I stayed at on Spencer Flat Rd. I'm heading back there in a couple of weeks.

Man that's one of the greatest, most informative videos on the topic. Thanks so much!

Thank you very helpful. We boondock 90% can't wait to use these new resources

I don't think I have ever watched a more complicated video on You Tube, ever. And I mean ever. Respectfully, you have to break things down with less complication. Watching this video made me feel like I was in a graduate course.

Wow, that intro! Makes a guy want to go camping!

Thanks so much for this information!! I haven't found another that explained this in so much detail, which I definitely needed.

Perfect makes me less nervous to find spots..... merci beaucoup mon ami

Sound, picture and energy of narration is outstanding with information given to use with understanding really exceeds the reality of destinations ahead in my truck camper....big thx

Finally found a great video on How to find great campsites

Like most comments on here, I have to say that this is one of the BEST tutorials if not the best on the topic. Thank you so much

This morning my coffee was so great with my new Grand Adventure Mug (happy camper) ..., the best of old time !!!

Wow, such an impressive resource for those who enjoy boondocking! Well Done Grand Adventure!

You are such a PRO, great content. Stoked to find your channel!

I boondock with apps and understanding the patterns around National Parks and following my nose. But your video shoes me how to evaluate the sites in advance.Thanks for this excellent video.

Thank you for the step by step of finding a boondocking spot

Dig dig school is in take notes because this is gold pure gold great job. I love the step by step great job

Thank you...you are a great teacher, instructor, tour guide etc. Great and informative video. I never knew dispursed camping was a thing. Happy New Year!

Wow! This newbie says THANK YOU!

great video! I am about to head out and full time rv in about a month, planning on mainly boondocking so this info is great!

So awesome! I just moved to the "ugly side of Montana" from Utah. I've been real depressed about the camping situation.

VERY well done ! We boondock about 70% of the time. This video will help us a lot. THANK YOU...

Fantastic video. It helped me understand the process as a complete newbie, you explained it really well. Thank you.

Thank you! great vid and very helpful. just bought a 21' TT in 2020, going west to badlands, bighorn, yellowstone, jackson hole, glacier nat park this summer....depart Ohio 6/14 for 6 weeks. Taking lots of note from you!!

Best where to find it I’ve ever found. Inspiration for sure!!

I missed the premiere, can't make them all. I liked the video, very useful. I will watch it again and then practice using the sites you mentioned. Lots of public land in the West!

One of your better and more informative videos for content fitting the times we're in. You always do a good video, but you made a good point near the end that caught the attention of an old-time dispersed camping boondocker like me. That is that doing it this way, which is pretty much what I've been doing these past two years, is harder and takes time. Everybody nowadays doesn't have time for that, they want it right now on an app on their phones. I've got an old class C on a Ford F350 chassis, 29 foot, and tow my Jeep. I've reworked the suspension, and gave her a minor lift so she can get down roads most would never try in a "C.". If in question, I fire up my drone to check ahead before turning down a blind road or trail. Chuckle, I've made that mistake, once. Ever since Bob did his Nomad video, and there's another out there too, it's been getting crowded on public lands, everyone wants to be a nomad, and in some cases areas I used to camp frequently have been closed. Too many people disobeying the rules, leaving their trash and dumping their tanks. The BLM and FS don't have the budget to deal with this and just shut it down for everyone. I'm wintering this year in South Louisiana near Lafayette in a cheap RV park for $300 a month right down the road from my boys and grandson. Y'all be safe out there, okay.

Great video. Super helpful tips and very clear technical navigation! Thank you for this.

I like how you use different tools to help find your camping sites.

This is by far the best video I have seen for this topic and I have a lot of free time at work and watch hours and hours of videos. This is going to be so helpful in our up coming trip out west in a few months. Watched your video on Green River lake, and that is one spot we are going to for sure, thank you again what an awesome video!

Thank you for all the great information. We still have 1.5 years before we head on the road but this is exactly what I'm looking for

AWESOME video!! Thank you! This is so helpful as we plan our full-time rving life.

Brilliant!!! Simply fantastic clip, and I thank you.

Mark you're a fantastic teacher and this presentation on finding boondocking sites was enlightening, clear and easy to follow. Here's to hoping I can use what you've shown and get out there camping in my lil teardrop. Thanks Mark.

Your detailed information made me sub. Thank you for this. My state has little to no free camping that I've been able to find. I got lucky and a city park marina closed & the police officer said we got to camp for free but that's it. Now we have to reserve online & its good from 5pm to 11am. Who camps those hours only? Ugh. So I have to travel quite a ways to camp away from tons of other campers & to camp for any length of time & I really appreciate this info.

Exceptionally well done. Step by step instructions to make it very easy for anyone. Thank you Marc! Hope to see you on the road some day!

Following Grand Adventures! We love your videos. Very informative. Great job!

I recognized all your shots of previous Boondocking in earlier videos. Couldn’t help think “would the new trailer make it there or would it fit in there?” And speaking of new trailer..... Hey, it looks good on you! 😉 I remember studying your first “How to find a Boondocking site”. I think I studied that one and used what I learned when we went to Sedona. Even though I had downloaded PDF of MOV maps and screen shots of Google maps, I still went and purchased the US Forest MOV map. Call me “old school”. This video was much more clearer to me. Even though my actual hands-on experience probably helped me understand it better, I think you have just gotten better as a teacher. The one thing I don’t have is that USCG map on my phone. I think I tried before, but maybe I need to have another go at it. Thank you Professor Guido! 🍎 Ram

An absolutely amazing video. Some of the best tips I've ever seen when it comes to finding a boondocking spot!!!!! I don't think people have to worry about this info leading to packed spots everywhere because the country is so huge and the more people spread out the better. Also, while not super complicated, this involves a bit more effort than just going to the established websites or googling "best free campsites" so that will be a natural barrier, as well as all those people in Class A's and Class C's that require full hookups or well established gravel/paved/level roads. So many people still live in an RV park all year round or stealth camp in cities/wal-mart lots/etc. and never go out to adventure anyway

You made the incredibly complicated land system we have simple. Thank you so much.

Berms may indicate a well graded road, but they also keep you on the road. It can pay to spend a few days at an RV park, to scout the areas in person before you take the RV in

You are a boondocks god!!! Awesome info👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you so much for this information! Well done!

Thanks for yet another great video Mark. I will be using your method in the coming months!

Living in Utah, driving an old 4-wheel drive pickup with a shell, I never have a problem finding a place. I go where no man goes or dare goes. I got scratches and dents to prove it! But your info is right on. I use BLM land and Dinasour Natl Monument back country

Enjoyed your video. Very helpful. Will soon be headed your way from eastern NC... Been several family situations that has set us back, but now all is back to normal... Still hopeful to meet you someday... Sam and Cindy

We love boondocking and these are some great tips. Google Maps is awesome for zooming in to see what a location really looks like and if an RV was in the photo it makes it that much easier to know we can get our camper into that spot. Great video!

This is what I've been looking for. You are a genius

This is full of useful information, and our generous host shows how to use the recommended resources. This is fantastic.

Marc, this episode is priceless. Will be using this information next Spring after we undoubtedly will be finding campsite options dwindling. Thank you for sharing your secrets! If we see you circling our boondock wishing you had arrived before us we will gladly give it up to thank you. Or, not!😎

Amazing video. I’ll watch 10 more times at least. THANK YOU!

Excellent video, you are a very good teacher. I now have the tools I need to be a better grand adventure!!!

Great way to find a perfect site! Thank you!

This is one of the best RV/Traveling videos I have found so far! Thank you so much for all the useful information! I love watching your videos. You have amazing content and I appreciate all the experience and knowledge you share!

Thorough, detailed and easy to understand explanations 👍🏻

Hi Wesley from Corpus Christi. I would love to get this down pat I'm going to watch it several more times. I appreciate your efforts in this video it is fantastic

Thank you very much, I am a new rv er and this info is what I’ve been waiting for, thanks

I've done a bit of these things looking for camping. But adding the USGS to the tool kit will be nice. Thank you.

Thank you immensely for sharing your knowledge on seeking out dispersed camping spots. The information you presented in this video helps a lot of us relieve the anxiety of figuring out where we'll spend the night on the road, especially for those of us that want to avoid reservations and a firm schedule. In this video, you've elevated boondocking to a science! Confirmed some things I've learned and taught me some new things. And how did we ever manage without Google Maps!? This one video could not be any more timely for the plans I'm hatching for next summer. And it's especially timely for helping those of us that want to avoid crowds (dare I say social distance!? masks optional!?) for whatever reasons. Happy Holidays and Stay Well!

This episode was very helpful on the websites and procedure to you go through. In your example we passed through Boulder Utah in 2018 and 2019 and stayed at a boondocking location NE of Escalante but not the one you choose. Appreciate the time you put into the video.

It’s footage and destinations like these that Larry used to convince me to go full time. It’s about time you gave up your boondocking secrets. We hope to be doing this soon. The RV boom is already causing issues. I’m hoping that when these get back to some normalcy, some people will vacation and weekend other ways. Great tips- of course. I have never seen that map/website before. Wow. The windows in your new rig look bigger than ours? ❤️ Excellent tutorial. 👍 Alice

Awesome help. Hope to shake your hand one day in my new adventures.

Great video. Thank you for these tools. New for me. Planning ahead. 🙏🙏🙏👋👋

Great video. You taught me some things I didn't know.

Loved the video. These are the sites I need to learn how to use to find FREE places to camp. We became full time RVers back in May 2020. We are currently moochdocking with family in Florida. We are going to leave for Quartzsite, Az on the 1st of the year to do a 2021 reset and learn how to get out and boondock... Safe travels and hope all goes well in Your transition to Full Timing.

Thank you for this video Marc. It has helped immensely with finding places that my family and I can stay in order to enjoy out wonderful planet alone.

really great video. Incredibly informative and well put together. Thank you for putting in the work to create this!

Excellent resource and presentation. Even your example of Escalante was perfect !

That was extremely insightful and helpful! Thanks a million!!

Thank you good information...added you might look at gaia gps maps, i use frequently

GREAT educational video! Thank you for making this video. So helpful.
