We get a lot of questions about "do I qualify to join as a guest?" While almost all of these are answered in our FAQ about membership, we thought we'd put together a short blog post to answer some of the most common questions.

This week we have a guest post from member gypsynaround who have a blog of their journey over at https://gypsynaround.wixsite.com/gypsynaround. Here, they give us the low-down on the differences between Boondockers Welcome and Harvest Hosts, and some of the pros and cons of each as they've seen them. If you like what you read be sure to head over to to their blog and follow the rest of their journey!

This past May, Boondockers Welcome was invited to sponsor one of four "villages" at the inaugural RVillage Rally in Elkhart, Indiana. Members Larry and Rose Ann, amazing Boondockers Welcome members and ambassadors, attended the rally to host this wonderful seminar where panelists answered questions about boondocking in general, and Boondockers Welcome in particular. It's a long video, but a great way to get a real in-depth understanding about why our members, both guests and hosts, are so incredibly passionate about Boondockers Welcome, and why people say that it's actually changed their lives!

You may be one, you may have met one, or you may be pondering becoming or hosting one. But the question still may remain: who are all these people using Boondockers Welcome?
