Adventure!

Hi, Thank you for the welcome!

My husband and I and our best friend Buster are newbies to RVing. We are right now in Ontario and plan on heading out sometime in May 2021 on our adventure. And so any suggestions about boondocking in Ontario or campsites not too expensive would be great. We have been reading a lot about boondocking on YouTube and studying the CrownLand Atlas to find places we can boondock at. But its always helpful to get advice from people who's been there, to know where the roads are to get to these places. Well that's about it for now. Chat later.

17 years ago when I first started full time RVing in a 36 foot Class A, I was worried about where I'd go, where I'd park so I'd call and make reservations after planning out my travel route. Eventually, learned that I didn't need to do that because very often I'd end up pulling into an RV park, discovering I just didn't want to stay there, and pulling out and trying to find somewhere else. Luckily, that wasn't too often.

But what I learned is that RV parks tend to cluster together. So if you search online (Wifi is and was for me always a requirement for successful travel), plan your trip to arrive in an area between 3-4, 5 at the latest. Have your GPS set for your 1st choice and then know where your 2nd and 3rd choices are located just in case. I travel Sunday thru Thursday in order to hit a park when they almost always have spaces.

Now days, I don't do much planning, and rarely make reservations UNLESS I'm traveling around a holiday, or into a crowded area near a big city. I tend to stay for a week or more, and tend to plan trips to smaller towns, like in the 30 K population numbers. (I've actually forgotten it was a holiday week occasionally so sometimes I end up traveling during a holiday, normally I wouldn't).

About holidays...best to arrive at a park a week in advance (though I've been successful arriving the day before), and stay a week! So you're there before the holiday as parks tend to get really crowded. On the other hand, there are times you will find that someone might cancel and you can get their reservation. Don't count on that too often unless you enjoy spending the night at Walmart.

Hi ! Welcome to IRV2! We're sure glad you joined us!

I would suggest that you create a signature showing the make and model of your RV. It will help folks to answer questions you may have in the future. Look at post #30 in the link below that tells you how to do that.

Good luck, happy trails, and God bless!
