We have discovered the pleasures of "dispersed" camping a type of camping on national lands that is away from campgrounds. Just find a spot, and it is yours. It is also free.
Tomorrow we will hike around here, come back to the camper, have a nice meal of salmon, and sleep well. This is why we bought the camper, and this pickup. So we could get to this type of place.
Last night, on our way here, we stayed, by necessity, at a state campground. It was like sleeping in the median of I5. It was a campground that was developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps, so we had a fondness for it immediately. But the CCC had no idea that 25 years later someone would build an interstate right next to it. All night, cars and trucks roaring by.
It was inexpensive and clean. And for a place to stay for a night on our way to somewhere else, it was great. But what surprised us was the number of people who were there for a long stay. People playing music, loud talk, dogs walking around unattended, lights, etc. And the roar of highway noise. Oh, and did I mention dogs? Those folks whom were there for the long stay are getting what they want, and they all appear happy and contented and friendly. There isn't "an" RV world. Instead, there are many RV worlds. That's super.
Our RV world is in this dispersed site in the Boise National Forest. Tonight we sat outside, me drinking a glass of red wine, listening to grasshoppers buzzing and the gurgling of the small stream, feeling like we were exactly where we wanted to be.
