About Boondockers Welcome
Boondockers Welcome is a unique RV membership program where travelers arrange free overnight RV parking with Hosts. Some offer optional hookups (water or electric) for a small fee.
Because all members travel in self-contained RVs, hosting is safe, simple, and low-maintenance. For RVers, it provides a welcoming place to park; for Hosts, it’s an opportunity to share their space, meet new friends, and enjoy a few perks in return.
At its heart, Boondockers Welcome is about community, generosity, and the joy of connecting through travel. Become a Host today.
Testimonials from current Hosts
“I have been a host site for nearly two years now and I have yet to have anything but great experiences and guests! I plan on full timing soon and hosting other full timers has truly given me so much insight into the lifestyle. I cannot wait to become a guest with some of my past guests at their sites. Great asset to the RVing community whether a guest or host, Boondockers Welcome is awesome!”
“We hosted our first guests from Boondockers Welcome this weekend! This morning we said goodbye but we loved having them here and making new friends! Since Chris and I can’t travel a ton this year, hosting is going to help us live vicariously through those still traveling!”
We discovered Boondockers Welcome on a Monday and signed up as hosts that evening. Tuesday before noon we got our first request and our guests arrived on Wednesday. We are so happy to help out fellow campers and are looking forward to using Boondockers Welcome ourselves for an upcoming trip to southern Ontario.
Who can be a Boondockers Welcome Host?
If you own or control residential property where it’s legal to park an RV overnight and are covered by homeowner’s insurance, you can become a Host.
Hosting is possible with many types of properties:
- A large rural property with extra space
- A driveway that can fit a camper van
- A backyard or side lot with room for a small RV
You don’t need hookups — that’s why we’re called Boondockers Welcome! But if you do provide water or electric hookups, you may request a small fee (up to $15 per night) to offset costs.
How Hosting Works
Hosting RVers is simple, flexible, and always up to you:
- Members request a stay after viewing your availability.
- You review the request and choose to accept or decline.
- Guests arrive and park.
That’s it! Hosting can be as social or as hands-off as you like. Some Hosts enjoy greeting travelers and sharing stories; others simply provide instructions ahead of time so guests can settle in on their own. Either way, you’re always in control of when and how you host.
