The LTVA's Best Bargain

The Imperial Dam LTVA

At $180 for 7 months, or even at $40 for two weeks, this is the best camping deal anywhere! The area is spotless, and although you will be boondocking where solar for most, is a must, the availability of dump stations, potable water and dumpsters, all included, makes this a fantastic place to call home for the winter. Did we mention we're just a 1/2 hour away from Baja Mexico and its high-quality, low cost dentists and cheap prescription drugs?

The Lakes, The River

The Art Of Boondocking


If you're new to Boondocking, or even an experienced boondocker, you should check out the RVHobo article, "The Art of Boondocking". It was written by a couple who have crossed the United States six times and have Boondocked from Baja Mexico, all the way to 400 miles North of the Arctic Circle. These are the experts who provided the technology to the U.S. Forest Service for an energy, water and communications unit to be used in the remote forests of the United States.
