At age 55, I will be starting my journey into the world of mobile camping in the spring of 2020. I am watching millions of videos. I've never had a mobile camper, but I am not new to camping. I'm learning through people like you. Thank you very much.
FYI: ranger stations for a given national forest usually have free detailed motor vehicle maps which have dots on where dispersed camping site are and given the maps are huge it makes it much easier to look around then a phone, at least in my opinion
Sold the house, toyhauler, the truck, the motorcycle, etc. Bought a Prius and have been outfitting it and studying. Hitting the road . Your excellent videos have been an invaluable part of my prep. Thanks, and stay safe.
I’m very glad you mentioned to go the extra mile and leave camp sites even better than you find them. Looking forward to the Estes Park video...one of my favorite places in the world.
I subscribed to your channel about a month ago and I just have to say I LOVE WATCHING IT! You are so easygoing and drama free. I was watching another nomad for about a year because she gave pretty good information. The longer I watched, the more drama I saw. Also, everything was about patreon, and buying her T-shirt’s and mugs. Thanks for the videos and information!
Ditto Juanese! I want to be entertained and educated with no drama. Robin, I too am a fellow Coloradoan now living in Texas. These videos are so wonderful. Thanks for taking me home!
There are so many comments on so many videos about a TH-camr that I should apparently avoid.. but no one says who it is?! Someone be a dear and tell me please so I don't waste precious planning time... Thanks😉
Yes, buy those Benchmark books! That is what we used for exploring before the internet lol You gave tips I hadn't heard before, Robin. I'm learning about "Hey, Google" and now I have the right question to ask!
Love your channel. I've been on the road since September of last year. I did a lot of boondocking in the desert, but not a lot in national forests. They always seemed so intimidating... until now. Thank you so much for all you do! You're a fantastic teacher! :)
Great video. I stopped in at visitor center and forest service office and received their free maps that reflected all of their roads and off roads that show where we can camp. All free.
Just when I thought I pretty much knew all the resources I needed to know, you have some new ones I haven’t heard about yet. Kudos to you for finding some new information for the RV community. You are innovative and refreshing. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Robin for sharing, We didn't get to spend a lot of time in Colorado,I wish we would have it looks beautiful. Keep sharing , love your videos and look forward to them each week Safe travels.
Ii gotta get my back-watching done! You feel like you are my friend who is helping me have a great outdoor experince right across the road or just down the hill from our rig... its now exciting to have these choices ! Thank you again my Lady.
Great ideas... getting that app... it is so easy not to leave any trash can even hang trash outside on vehicle until one gets to a trash bend... Gosh keep America beautiful... remember trash smells will draw bears and other animals...keep safe people. I love your videos so informative... Hot here in Texas in the 3 digit numbers. and even higher for heat index...
I am enjoying the campsites you pick. National and state parks are very scenic ..they are the same in Canada. I like your idea of having a paper map as well as the digital ones. Sometimes when you are in forested areas the signals are not as good and getting a satellite is difficult so having an alternative is excellent.
Have you boondocked in the White River National Forest in Colorado? We stayed in a cabin at Buford, and it was so beautiful. I loved it more than Rocky Mtn National Park. Since becoming more interested in camping, van-dwelling, etc in the past few months, I will definitely keep my eyes open for those Forest Service Roads when we go back to the cabin in September.
Years ago before Woodland Park got so big Rampart was a great place to camp. We would take field trips in school up there. It was an awesome time in life.
So incredibly helpful! Detailed enough to be concrete and practical, but not overwelming. Love the Sunday viewing. The best organized site of it's kind with playlists, advice in general, well researched topics. Guess you're an artist 🎨 📖 but so appreciate your practical approach! New subber, will transition soon to the off grid life, but for now 🤗Hi from Prague 🇨🇿!
I like these videos of non model photo shopped videos that actually inform people of real life mobile living. Thanks for your videos. My family camps like this, and it is very peaceful.
I just wanted to say that your a brave lady to do this all by yourself .but you did find the right way to live your life am an retired truck driver I love it so props too you Michael ps I think your very cute continue good life
Love your videos. I’m in Colorado and find it difficult to find good “get away” spots in the summer months. Thanks for sharing your tips. Safe travels!
Another instructive video. I drove to Estes Park from Boulder in late September a few years ago and it was beautiful. Looking forward to making the journey again when I have my class b and more time. I remember an alpine lake that was really special.
Hello. Just starting watching your videos. Quite interesting. I'm not interested in doing RV traveling but I've been in many of the places you are visiting. My favorite place in Colorado is Estes Park. Just beautiful. Please stay safe!
I really like your videos and they are very informative . One nice suggestion you could do is leave the GPS locations where you stay at in the links of your information, so other Rv ers can find the spots easier. Thanks
I really look forward to your videos...you share so much that's really helpful and your realistic about it. Thank you. I agree with another statement here... teacher / instructor...you are a great one :)❣️👍✌️
Debbz Art be prepared to scramble it's very challenging to find a place sometimes paying or not their are SO many people doing this since the housing crash plan ahead be prepared and always have a backup plan . thanks
Thank you so much for doing this. I am planning to be a nomad soon and you are very helpful. I will watch your whole playlist and refer to it. Keep on keeping on.
Topozone.com is great site or you can buy a book version. It shows hidden waterfalls and water that alot of other maps won't plus it's great detail map if in an area with no reception. There are some great free spots up Old stage road between the Springs and Victor on the backside of Pike along a stream. Just go up to Victor and head down, the road is maintained better up top, just after the first tunnel. While in Colorado go see Bishops Castle, there is free camping just north of it. Or you can shoot over to Deweese lake, Beautiful views!!
I've boondocked too. love your chanel! Another tip: Sometimes we have no cell reception while camping- but when in town, you can download an OFFLINE area of the map you'll be camping in, using Google maps on your phone.
Hi my name is David and I’ve been following all of your videos you make great content very informative and educational. Thank you so much for taking your time out to provide us with such great videos. I do have one question though I’m very interested in leisure travel bands and I was wondering if you would please do a review of your van.
Thank you so much! It's hard to figure all this stuff out. I ordered the CO Road and Recreation atlas and downloaded the app you recommended. We've been camping for a while now and thus far have avoided crowds but it's definitely that season. My husband is going to lose the enjoyment of it and said he wanted to switch over to public lands as he used to do years and years ago. Thank you for helping me understand how to find areas and have the tools to do so. And we are definitely "leave no trace" kind of people. Thanks again!
I enjoy your videos. You do a very good job story telling and information sharing. Bought a used slide-in truck camper and plan to enjoy a lot of both boondocking and conventional camping after winter. My first motivation for the slide-in was to be able to trailer my classic cars to shows and camp at the show. But you and others like you have motivated me to expand my camping to enjoy nature as well drivable art.
I am so inspired. I am new to rv. Bought a class B. Will solo travel along with my doxie. My income is from my paintings. My note to you, i feel so stuck in Florida, so hot here but home base is here. I truly love your inspirational videos , which keep me motivated to travel this journey . Maybe one day, i will have moved my home base to a more central location so as to explore more of our national forests. Thank you. MB
When boondocking or National Forest parking do you worry about mountain lions or bears? Can you do a video about wildlife? What about when cooking in your rig something that smells delicious? Will the bears try to get in?
Hi Robin ~ Grand Junction is my 'thought of home' and I love Colorado always! As a full time RV traveller, I kind of gravitate back to the 'Four Corners' region from where ever I'm at.... Currently chasing hurricanes in the Carolinas. lol I'm getting very motivated to try boondocking in 2019!
Robin / CreativityRV The Benchmark maps look like a wonderful resource and I see that their site also has digital maps available, which I think is a wonderful idea. But. . . they don't do me any good here in the eastern half of the U.S.A.! They only cover the Western states. Are you aware of any similar maps for the eastern states? They would be invaluable to those of us east of the Mississippi River who love to explore around here. Thank you for all your wonderful posts; they're informative and fun.
I just love your videos, Robin. Chocked so full of information that I have to pause, follow the links, and then return to see the rest of the video! I ordered some Benchmark maps from your Amazon link and can't wait to get them. I majored in Cartography (map design) in college so I've been known to geek out for hours over maps. You are so thorough, well-spoken, and concise when it comes to the information that you impart --- thank you!! I will be selling my house and hitting the road when I retire, and your videos are very valuable as reference material. Thanks, Robin, and happy travels :)
iOverlander is a good app to find free campsites too. I like it best. Very easy to use and it links right to Google maps. Best of all its international. I used it exclusivlely in Mexico, where the US apps dont work.
Great information, thank you! As far as the Coconino National Forest, according to the Forest Service rangers, you are only allowed to dispersed camp in the Coconino National Forest for 14 days within a 30 day period. Then you are required to move outside the boundaries of the Coconino National Forest for the remainder of that 30 day period.
My 1 week of vacation is coming up in two months. Going to spend 5 days out in the woods some where in Colorado. This video provided every info I needed! thank you so much and definitely subbed!
Awesome! Thank you for the video. My husband and I are moving into an rv beginning of next year. We live here in Colorado Springs and are so excited seeing all the free places to stay. Be safe!!
Hi everyone. You can go to USGS or earthexplore.usgs.gov to find topography maps with elevations and aerials. Most of the information is free (paid with your tax dollars) but the files can be quite large.
Thank you for your videos! Lot's of great tips, no wah wah, blah blah!!! Getting ready to start my Nomad Life and admit that I'm a little TERRIFIED!!! I'm so grateful for the help from full timer's like you :)

Juanese Buitrago - I totally agree! I love Robin's channel, so informative, which is my main reason for watching this type of channel.
Noreen N thanks!!
Aw, thank you SO much!!
Ditto Juanese! I want to be entertained and educated with no drama. Robin, I too am a fellow Coloradoan now living in Texas. These videos are so wonderful. Thanks for taking me home!
There are so many comments on so many videos about a TH-camr that I should apparently avoid.. but no one says who it is?! Someone be a dear and tell me please so I don't waste precious planning time... Thanks😉
Oh how I miss the mountains. I would hike every day when I was unemployed for about 3 months. Best 3 months ever. Thank you for sharing.
Yes, buy those Benchmark books! That is what we used for exploring before the internet lol You gave tips I hadn't heard before, Robin. I'm learning about "Hey, Google" and now I have the right question to ask!
she said you can order them for free, where can i order them please?
Love your channel. I've been on the road since September of last year. I did a lot of boondocking in the desert, but not a lot in national forests. They always seemed so intimidating... until now. Thank you so much for all you do! You're a fantastic teacher! :)

Wow, this in formation is so incredibly complete and helpful. Thank you.

We love you Robin! if we ever need answers, you are are go too!
Thank you. Very informative. Loved the drone shot at the end.
Depending on season, the sat maps don't show some dirt roads. You have a good idea about daytime scouting, it can be tough to turn around at night.
I am enjoying the campsites you pick. National and state parks are very scenic ..they are the same in Canada. I like your idea of having a paper map as well as the digital ones. Sometimes when you are in forested areas the signals are not as good and getting a satellite is difficult so having an alternative is excellent.
Thank you for all thing you post I'm Newbie need to learn everything GOD Bless your heart 💜
Friendly, honest, smart, helpful, nice lady thanks for the videos !
Have you boondocked in the White River National Forest in Colorado? We stayed in a cabin at Buford, and it was so beautiful. I loved it more than Rocky Mtn National Park. Since becoming more interested in camping, van-dwelling, etc in the past few months, I will definitely keep my eyes open for those Forest Service Roads when we go back to the cabin in September.
Thank you so much, you are a treasure trove of information. Pencil and pad at the ready.
Loved that circular view!
We host on Hipcamp and , we will be using it as guests , too for a month in Winter . We would love to camp in CO. ! thanks Free camping is the best
Years ago before Woodland Park got so big Rampart was a great place to camp. We would take field trips in school up there. It was an awesome time in life.
Thanks for sharing your resources. So helpful!
You always pass on the BEST information! Thanks Robin!
Thanks for another informative video! Great tip on calling the ranger station, rangers can be very informative and helpful.

Hello.
Just starting watching your videos. Quite interesting. I'm not interested in doing RV traveling but I've been in many of the places you are visiting. My favorite place in Colorado is Estes Park. Just beautiful. Please stay safe!
This is the best one so far that we have watched on how to find a spot for boon docking.
HERE in ABQ , NM 87107,, no free camping near me , not any
I really like your videos and they are very informative . One nice suggestion you could do is leave the GPS locations where you stay at in the links of your information, so other Rv ers can find the spots easier. Thanks
I really look forward to your videos...you share so much that's really helpful and your realistic about it. Thank you. I agree with another statement here... teacher / instructor...you are a great one :)❣️👍✌️
PS...love the shout out for the other channel for resources as well...very cool
Thanks robin! Yep. The forest is my home...its calling me ...lol..that spot is nice ...safe travels..😎
Best video I've been able to find on finding campsites on BLM land. I'm planning an overland trip to CO in Sept 22
OMG! Can’t wait to get my RV! Thanks for the great videos. You’re such a cool person.
Debbz Art be prepared to scramble it's very challenging to find a place sometimes paying or not their are SO many people doing this since the housing crash plan ahead be prepared and always have a backup plan
. thanks
@@jamessouthard4783 Yea. I'll bet! Thanks for the reply and advice. It's always good to hear people's experience. Happy travels.
Try Park and Ride near me when stealth camping near a big city.
Thank you so much for doing this. I am planning to be a nomad soon and you are very helpful. I will watch your whole playlist and refer to it. Keep on keeping on.

If you can read a map and know land nav. Pick a direction and start walking.
This is a very helpful video. Thanks 😅😅😅
You are a god send. I have been going insane trying to figure this stuff out. Thank you 🙏
I'm from Colorado also and currently in Texas, but were coming back soon! Thanks for sharing your videos on Colorado 😊

I like the different topics related to RVing that you talk about with good resources. Good Job!
Estes Park.....where my husband panicked when I jumped out of the car to take pictures of the elk that roam the streets!!!!
So peaceful. Thanks for sharing.
I'm watching froming from my camper home in Clanton Alabama where I live by myself with my 2 dogs
Awesome video! I’m a map user big time!
Thanks for the pro tips!
