This spot is my go to outside of Santa Fe. Great view of canyon and distant mountains along a BLM track. Good privacy. Great cell service. Not very level and need to put rocks under tires but enough room for one or two vehicles. Primitive stone fire ring. About 20 minute drive to pavement. Might be inaccessible when wet and muddy. Sparse vegetation. Target shooters nearby. Great area for backcountry exploration. Recommended.

Not a proper campsite. Parked outside of a gas station in well-to-do corporate area west of Des Moines. I was fueling up during the drive east and noted that I could probably spend the night in this quiet parking area and no one would notice or complain. Not recommended, generally speaking. If you do choose to spend the night here, be discreet. Slept well though and was not bothered.

This is a designated RV overnight area at a service plaza on I-80 on the Ohio Turnpike west of Cleveland. Water and dump station. It costs $20 per night and you buy a ticket at a kiosk. Honestly, could just as easily spend the night in the car parking area, but a designated spot offers peace of mind. Service plaza is big with restaurants inside and gas. It was a loud and busy place to spend the night but slept well and felt safe. Would stay again despite fee.

A popular boondocking spot with vault toilet and stone fire rings just within Santa Fe National Forest boundary, a short distance from pavement. There are likely other campers, RVs, and van-dwellers hear year round as the spot appears on iOverlander and is very accommodating. Poor privacy. Dubious neighbors. Great cell service and enough room for several vehicles. Two wheel drive is fine, well-maintained gravel. Some junipers and vegetation break wind. Recommended due to proximity to town.

Fee campground in French Creek State Park. Reserve your site online. It was $27 per night during my stay in December, and this particular loop is open year round. There were other campers from tents to big RVs. Heated bathrooms with showers. Running water. Electric hookups and fire rings with picnic tables. Good cell service and enough room for 1 to 3 vehicles per site. All paved loops. Lovely hiking nearby. A peaceful retreat in a wooded area for a couple nights in southeast Pennsylvania despite fee.

An arbitrary, primitive flat spot along a forest road track near Santa Fe. Four wheel drive and high clearance not required but might be hard to access when wet and muddy. Sparse vegetation with some junipers. Very secluded with good privacy and some cell service. No fire ring or camping amenities. Decent view and enough space for 3 or 4 vehicles. Along a dead end spur so traffic is minimal. Good four-wheel drive tracks to explore in the area. Peaceful.
