I'm planning a trip to visit family in Scottsdale, AZ in mid-March and returning in early April.  Has anyone had experience using any of the following resources:  boondockerswelcome.com, harvesthosts.com, freecampsites.net, frugal-rv-travel.com or Apps, such as Campendium or US Public Lands?

 

I'm new to the forum.  In mid-November, I had the pleasure of meeting Marty in Phoenix, OR when he delivered my Ocelot.  He and Jeff are very knowledgeable and helpful.  I made good use of my waiting time by reading various topics in the forum.  One thread in particular reminded me to buy my Golden Geezer Pass.  Appreciate your help.

I liked the idea of Harvest Hosts. Spoke with them but was unable to join. They require the rigs to be self contained. We do carry a porta-potti, but they define self contained as having gray and black water tanks. Not familiar with the others.

I use freecampsites.net A LOT! I quite like it. I've used Campendium a little, but not often and it's okay

Thank you both for sharing your experiences.  Good to know.

Have used freecampsites and found some good places and only one that was not good. Best app we have used is AllStays, well worth the $9.00 it cost when we bought it.

X2 on AllStays.

I like using Ultimate Campgrounds.  I downloaded it and referenced it into my Garmin Basecamp map on my small portable computer.  I don't have to have cell service or internet to use it.  At times I check Free Campsites and Campentium for reviews of places I find in Ultimate Campgrounds.

Ditto on Ultimate Campgrounds app on iPad. I use it more than AllStays although the latter has a tents app version. There is a boondockets Facebook group: https://www.facebook...=group_activity

If you have any questions on the Ultimate Campgrounds iPhone/iPad app, let me know because I'm the app's developer.  I also have a free Boondocking app for your iPhone as well as other useful camping apps:  http://appstore.com/williammodesitt

Used freecampsites, and since I am usually too far out for developed camps, use mostly common sense in the BLM areas of the desert where I explore. , and when I was using the big truck/camper, used Free and Low cost Campgrounds, a Camping America publication.
