    Great place. I am current in Yuma as a nomad living in a RAV4 full-time. I started August 2020 from Michigan.

    last 2 are not good during peak season and if you go into them there is no place to park and almost impossible to maneuver around to get out it took me almost hitting others getting out cause they park on top of each other

    I just came across your videos, and like your helpful tips and views of the boondocking sites. Please include some additional information in future site visits/tours/videos. Please ask the locals or rangers or someone at that site (each site) the distance from that site to the nearest potable water source (how far do you have to go to get drinking water?) and how far to go to find an approved trash dump site (e.g. dumpster)? How far from that site to nearest grocery store? I think that would help viewers understand each site may affect their choices too. I do like you mentioned the noise from the nearby plant (rock crushing or or similar noise). I Liked, Subscribed, added this comment to help your channel and will watch more. Happy Trails!
    P.S. I assume some of that info may be found in some app or subscription software. But I think it would add value to your video content to mention it, and would help your videos get shared, liked, etc. :)

    hanging out at standard wash right now, much less crowded than those other spots, our favorite!

      Yep,I preferred the upper section to the left side.

    Found your video searching for a place to camp tonight, im by yucca and it's my first boondocking trip so im not familiar with the area. Thanks for the informative video!!

    Native 34 years in Havasu. Standard wash use to be way crazier when they had the bowl, before they filled it in. Learned a snowbirds point of view and I agree, Havasu Heights is great .

    • @RobandMarvy
      @RobandMarvy  3 года назад

      Looks like we might miss Havasu this year. Spending time in Tucson then across to San Diego hopefully for Xmas. After that...just killing time before we have to be back in Vegas at end of March.

    it would be great if you could include access information to the water. many of us have kayaks and want to able to reach it and or camp near it....

  • @HighCountryRambler

    Simply as a PSA- When I boondock in various places it breaks my heart to see trash and garbage left behind by people not thinking about who has to clean it up. Secondly, fire pits are great, unless former users drag out wooden pallets to burn not thinking about all the nails left behind waiting to ruin boondockers tires for years to come.
    Sounds harsh, but not as bad as rolling into your favorite spot with locked gates because local BLM couldn't maintain the area. Public land belongs to the public, who should treat it like it's our own. Bring in what you need, and it leave cleaner than you found it.
    Thanks for the tips on the websites.

    Just spent some time in Havasu and love it. How was the cell/internet reception at Havasu Heights?

    • @RobandMarvy

      It's good. I was getting three bars on Verizon (92db) without a booster.

    Is there a host at craggy? We hosted there several seasons ago. We cleaned the whole place up but no one appreciated it

    • @RobandMarvy
      @RobandMarvy  28 дней назад

      I have not been there for several years... but the old camp hosts came around and put your date on your windshield.

  • @acme9538

    Thanks for the informative video, great explanation. Couple questions, how bad is 'standard wash' this time of year? I need to spend a couple nights out that way & it would be the most convenient geographically. Thank you very much for the detailed tour ! Happy Trails.

    • @RobandMarvy
      @RobandMarvy  2 года назад +1

      No too crowded...most folks are still in Quartzite. I can usually spend a couple nights anywhere though....

    I didn't see any tents in those 5 areas you visited are they out there and where is the best of your 5 to tent

    • @RobandMarvy
      @RobandMarvy  2 месяца назад

      It depends on what you need. If I only had a tent and didn't need internet, AND wanted a little privacy, I would definately go to Craggy Wash and head up the road to Mile Market Three. Hardly anyone went up there while I was there.It (Like most places) gets a lot of drive through ATV traffic during the day, but overall, given the choice, that is where I would go.

    I'd love to know: How many stars can you see at night at these sites? I'm in search of starry skies. Is light pollution a problem at these locations? Any suggested boondocking sites for amateur RV astronomers?

    • @RobandMarvy
      @RobandMarvy  3 года назад +1

      Basically the further you are from major cities. South of Quartzsite, AZ and way before you get to YUMA< the sky is wonderful. Also, Idaho and Montana are great too. And for me, if I have to head out with a shovel at 4 AM to "do my business" in the desert, there is nothing better than watching the Milky Way above me and listening to the coyotes around me!!

    How much annually would you recommend it costs to live rest area to rest area

    • @RobandMarvy
      @RobandMarvy  4 месяца назад

      You can not live in Rest Areas. There are other choices than having to move every 8 hours and not all Rest Areas are safe. We only stayed in them out of necessity

    Is it possible to explore the California side of Lake Havasu?

    • @RobandMarvy
      @RobandMarvy  9 месяцев назад

      I haven't been there. But you would down Hwy 95 to "Lake Havasu Road" on the California side. Here are a couple RUclips videos. Not great info, but that might get you started.

    Does Boondocking risk any problems with leaving your RV for the day while away from it?

    • @RobandMarvy
      @RobandMarvy  Год назад

      Absolutely. Usually if you are boondocking near people, it is good to reach out, exchange phone numbers and keep an eye on each other. If you are alone in a remote area...personallyI would never leave my rig, although some people do. Personal choice.

    How for I register to camp on BLM land

    • @RobandMarvy
      @RobandMarvy  2 года назад

      Great question. First of all, because it is BLM land doesn't mean you can camp on it. Lots of land is leased by the government for other uses. But there are apps and websites like Campendium and FreeCampsites.net that really help find places. Once on BLM land you can camp on, there is no need to register. You just cannot stay for more than 7-14 days at a time (it varies and is usually posted) Then you have to camp at least 20 miles away for at least six days before you return. In some area like Craggy Wash in Lake Havasu area, it is so popular that the BLM office autorizes someone to camp long term in exchange to becoming a "Camp Host" in this event, they usually find you and have you post a 12 days (free) permit on your dashboard so they can keep track of how long people stay.
