Montana Boondocking

[rvwandering]

&nbsp; We're driving through Montana , on our way to Seattle and stayed overnight in a fishing access site - free camping ,very nice ,quiet and scenic. I found the information on this site - Ultimate Public Campground Projects Map. It's a pretty new site and still has a few glitches but the developer is always working on it and improving it. Most of the camping sites have a fee but there are also a lot of free and inexpensive ones. We're heading to Helena and will check out some of the bureau of reclamation sites along Canyon Ferry Lake.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp; I think having boondocking in a separate section is a great idea! Maybe there should be a sticky with all of the links to good websites like this one and also links to people's favorite spots so it will be easier to find them ?&nbsp; Link-<a href="http://www.ultimatecampgrounds.com/uc/index.php"> http://www.ultimatecampgrounds.com/uc/index.php <br /><br />&nbsp;</a>

I like the "sticky" idea. &nbsp;If we weren't in a walmart parking lot, then we were in state or nat'l parks because we figured we wouldn't get harrassed that way. &nbsp;Knowing where you can stay and not be in a walmart lot would be nice.... as long as the local residents in the area dont give off the wrong vibe.<br /><br />Montana was a great place to travel through, friendly people and some of the best roads of our trip.

Thanks for the link!&nbsp; I've clicked on a few of the parks in Oregon, and so far they all have a fee.&nbsp; Is it just trial and error to find those that don't charge, or is there a list of those sites?

&nbsp;Tammi - It's pretty much trail and error on the link that I posted but check the links that SoulRaven posted. I use most of those sites too. I prefer&nbsp;<a href="http://freecampsites.net/usa/"> http://freecampsites.net/usa/ </a>&nbsp; over the others because of the format but it doesn't have a lot of campsites yet. If I can't find a place to stay on it I look for public ones on other sites ,ones that aren't always free or even cheap but still better than private parks.<br />I always submit the good places to freecampsites.net to help it grow.

<br /><br />Thank you, and I'll definitely check SoulRaven's links too.&nbsp; Didn't see them because I was writing my question and looking at the map at different sites. lol Thanks, to SR, too!
