App or Website for boon-docking or dry sites

Is there a good application or website to identify multi day boondocking or dry camping sites as one travels down the road. There are many that allow you to add filters to narrow the search to only include sites with certain features like power, water, etc but none that I can find that will allow you to show only sites that have dry camping available. Also some applications that do show BLM areas, don't get very granular. I'm hoping to find one app or one web site to provide this info instead of looking randomly here and there on the forums.

App or Website for boon-docking or dry sites

Two Apple apps that I'm using right now (I don't even have the MH yet but practicing a lot!)
-Ultimate Campground USA
- HUNT
Ultimate Campground is an amazing app for all that it offers in one place. Numerous Filters, downloadable NP background maps, satellite view, select free, $, $$, $$$, hookups, no hookups, length restrictions if any, etc... find a potential location tap the "i" (info button) it brings up detailed info on that site, look to the bottom of page and select map and select satellite for a detailed view of the site you're looking at, select "flicker" photos at the bottom brings up pics taken in a .5 mile radius to give you an idea of the areas views. Love the app a lot!
HUNT is not inexpensive 99.00 annual for all states but it gives you a wealth of information on the lands that you'll be Boondocking on and who owns that land. Has detailed roads, trails, etc. mainly geared towards hunters it has a wealth of information on accurately pinpointing BLM boundaries.

Hope this helps!

To each their own but when travelling, currently as extended timers, we boondock or dry camp at least 9 out of 10 nights. We prefer this than booking in and out of campgrounds personally not just for cost savings. We use BLM, NFS, AZ Trust Lands and other public lands websites, County Parks etc. However, wife's main go to app is Freecampsites.net, and she also likes to use Casinocamper.org when enroute to a new destination stop. Used to overnight at WM/FJ/Rest Areas/Truck Stops etc but now feel more rested and safer at Casinos for "dry camping" purposes one night sometimes two.

Depending on how it fits in with our travels, we also mooch dock (driveway or friends property stays) and will utilise on occasion boondockers welcome and if on our route without too much deviation Harvest Hosts.

Hopefully some of these help you, but "if" we were to have only one site it would be "freecampsites.net".
