Would you like to camp more and pay less? Would you like to meet fellow RVers and get their tips on the best places to eat, tour and get services in their towns? Would you like to set up camp in quiet spots without other RV’s five feet away? Marianne Edwards and her daughter Anna Maste have built a site with over 1600 RV owning hosts willing to offer space to fellow Rvers on their private property. Boondockers Welcome is a pay it forward system of fellow sojourners helping each other see the country while keeping expenses down.
Mairanne is not new to saving money while camping. She is the founder of Frugal-RV-Travel which she founded after taking a one year road trip in 1999. Marianne and her husband Randy discovered they could make their travel budget stretch if they didn’t give $40-$60 a night to a campground. She took the knowledge she gained on money saving RV travel and built a website that covers all aspects of RVing from health insurance to RV repairs to fabulous destinations. Be sure to check out Mariannes other fabulous site and sign up for their newsletter.

I am a Boondockers Welcome host. At 84 as a widow, my days of hauling my trailer are nearly over. I love meeting the R V friends who stay here. I learn of their adventures and their history if they like to share, they enjoy the views from our 50 acres. Several guests have become good friends and some of the men have offered to fix a few things for me. Hosting has enriched my life. I think most R Vr’s are really great people.
So excited when CV-19 is over and we can get out and go Boondocking.
We are new to this experience and in our mid-70s. We have a 20 ft. 2019 Riverside Retro Travel Trailer and are looking to spend more time on the road. ❤⚘
