Why Green Lake


Have read the threads on Greens Lake on two Aussie forums and am not sure of why it seems to be the most popular spot in Australia to RV.

Of course the fact that is free and there are no time constraints on stays wouldn't have anything to do with its popularity would it biggrin

Well free, no time limits and great people sounds great. Have plans someday to caravan in Australia. We do it in US (to include Alaska), Canada, Mexico (to include Baja and Yucatan) and Belize. US does have an incredible number of spots to free camp on federal lands though it usually means moving every 14 days or so. We do stay in Forest Service and National Park CGs but primarily boondock/bush camp on BLM lands which are free. 

Include a few photos of this: the first two are from Vedauwoo in Wyoming. We found a great spot and spent three nights there with younger son and family. Two Bull Moose woke us up fighting for 45 minutes and they sometimes got within 25 metres of our rig.

 Third and fifth photos are from western New Mexico. We saw only two cars come by in six days, and that was the rancher who leases the land from the federal government. This was within 4 km of the Gila River Box, the last truly free-flowing and wild river in New Mexico, about 200 km without a dam. We saw a pack of about 5 Coatamundis (a very intelligent relative of the raccoon) and our friends had seen a pack of about 20 the day before.

The last photo was taken in Yucatan (very southern Mexico) and is at a restaurant called Bar Familiar. You can stay for free if you have dinner or breakfast. Food was great and inexpensive. Lots of birds and supposedly Crocodiles in the adjoining lake, and numerous Mayan archaeological sites in the area. 

We have bush camped in NM, CO, AZ, UT, WY, ID, MT, OR and WA. Most reservoirs have either free camping or inexpensive CGs run by the Bureau of Reclaimation or Engineers.

Hope we do make it to caravan in Australia

Thank you for that interesting discussion Reed, I had no idea how similar the US is to our free camping here in Aus.

Basically, if it is BLM or forest service lands and you can get off the road, you can camp for 14 days. There are restricted areas near cities when this is not permitted due to vandalism. Many of the states west of Texas are over 80% government owned (Texas is about 98% privately owned and boondocking/freecamping is not possible). The folks in Colorado and Oregon love to camp and their backcountry areas get really crowded. One of our friends thinks that Nebraska and Kansas, with their extensive Federal Grasslands, are among the best places to free camp in the country. The East Coast of the US is not conducive to free camping.
