Free camping at a high elevation (8000ft) PARADISE near Pinedale WYOMING!

Coordinates (42.9922, -109.9038) Willow Lake
If this Boondocking spot had palm trees you would have thought we were at a tropical oasis!! Instead we traded those palm trees in for Aspen trees..... and it couldn’t have been more PERFECT!! In fact we love this spot SO MUCH that we spent a full two weeks at this location!

Thank you, Pamela! I can't wait for our first snowstorm this year. I think we will be ready this time. 😀

[@Far-Beyond-Ordinary]

You always can count on wholesome beauty with one adVANture at a time. I put a diesel heater in my minivan a couple weeks ago. Now I can spend the winter here in Wisconsin in my van. It is so nice to be warm on these cold nights. You will have to check out how I installed it so I can fill it up outside. The video is being edited today.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Nice! Can't wait to see your new heater. The flexibility they add is wonderful. If you can make it through a winter in Wisconsin you can pretty much go anywhere. 😀

[@Far-Beyond-Ordinary]

@@oneadVANtureatatime I just finished the edit and upload. Life it good.

[@dustyfeller]

So much to love about this! That close-up video of the beach looked like a miniature Oregon coast, with sea stacks and waves! And at those moments as the storm rolled in, the entire scene in its totality was ethereal. I can see why you would describe it as being like heaven there!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

I think you would really enjoy this area! It's close to a small town that has everything you need without the crazy traffic and people. An awesome place to wait out the heat of summer. 😎

You guys can find the best spots. Beautiful. Love the roodle time. Carrie your photos are beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Happy trails.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

If you ever come to this part of Wyoming we would love to meet you at this location. There are a few spots where your rig will easily fit right on a beach. In the summer of course otherwise there will be 5 feet of snow and it will be 5 degrees. 😂

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Congratulations! We rarely get to stay that long and enjoyed it so much!! We hope as time goes on we will be able to stay in one spot longer ourselves. 😀

[@cynthiasullivan8051]

that structure looks like an old boat house, my uncle had one at the edge of his lake, and they would park boats inside to keep from getting water in them from rain storms and could pull them onto log rails out of the water in winter so the ice wouldn't damage the hull. Not sure if this is what it is, but sure looks like one to me.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

I think you are right about it being a boathouse. A few others said the same. Makes good sense to pull it out before the ice.😎

[@snowbirdlady8496]

Fremont Lake - it is paradise! I was there 2 years ago, but it had been made a State Park. So, I'm thinking you were in a different location. .I will go back and watch the beginning again since you usually give details on location. Great camera work as usual Dave and Carrie!

Awesome, Bill! We have camped at literally hundreds of locations all over the us and Canada in the past four years and this is my all time favorite! I can see why this is your adopted home state!

[@wims58ej]

Boondocked in that area for about a week. Watched the solar eclipse. Did an amazing 3 day hike, in the wind river range. Found a canoe someone had stolen I guess and hidden up a scree slope under some bushes at an alpine lake??and used it to catch some nice trout.They used forked tree limbs and nailed flattened tin cans to them to make paddles. Had an amazing time, and I will come back some day! Hopefully this summer. It was really crowded though, because of the eclipse and it was in the path of totality. The rangers said they had never seen it that crowded before.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Nice finding a canoe and catching fish! We also did the Cirque Of The Towers hike while we were there. It was awesome! Like you said the trailhead was the most crowded we had ever seen. The solar eclipse must have been amazing!

[@mikedean8061]

I just watched another van couple (Kara and Nate) have pros put their heater in under the passenger seat as well. They are in Colorado and she LOVED it after she used it the 1st night... LOL

This place has made it on to my bucket list!

[@HerveAttia]

This week end , we did our fist little trip with our promaster van that we just finished. We drove from Bay area and spend the night in Sonoma. No issue with the fire and smoke. We used our WEBASTO and we noticed the known design flaw. The pump part under the van does a clicking noise. Apparently there is a fix.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Congratulations on your first trip! Our webasto makes that sound only the first time we get it going. After that I don't notice the sound. We still need to test it more as the first cycle trips out our house battery. 🤔 We will try the first cycle on the vehicle and the rest on the house battery to see if that's better.😂 Any plans for your next Advanture? We hope to do a free hot springs tour as the snow falls as soon as we finish up with this sugar beet harvest here in Montana. It's good to hear from you and we are excited for your up and coming trips. 😀

[@HerveAttia]

@@oneadVANtureatatime we build our van completely stealth. No windows. Only a big skylight above bed area . We did install security cameras all around.

Just what is the name of that spot? We've camped a couple of times near Pinedale, once on the Green River and once at a different lake not nearly as good as that location.

[@michele2017promastertravel]

That building looks like some sort of boat house because of the opening towards the water. If the lake level has risen, then I would just say it was a primitive cabin with a great view. Have you two ever considered going somewhere and do gold panning in a stream or river? It would be fun because you could stay in a spot and pan for a few days/week. Fun and profitable. Just thinking out loud, it would be a fun adVanture. Another great video. Can't wait to have my van done. Issues now with Dometic Fridges- so many bad reviews on the new models. Not sure what I'll do so just waiting for the issues to work themselves out. Thanks for sharing such a great video.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Gold panning and staying on a mining claim is something we have talked about a lot! We think as free camping gets harder to find this is something we will consider.

What month did you go there? I'm dry camping near Sturgis, S.D.. in July, and it's hot here!!! 2023 heat wave all across the U S.! Also was the beach area too soft of ssnd to park close to?

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

We were there in August. You can only park in designated areas, but it was only about 30-40 ft from the beach. The key to escaping the heat it to find high elevation destinations, preferably with water. Most people think it will be cooler if they head north, not true unless you go up in elevation. Sturgis SD is 3, 422 ft above sea level.... way to low! Willow Lake in this video is at 7,703 ft above elevation.

Our 5 Favorite ways to find AMAZING Boondocking spots I hope this video helps. Let us know if you have more questions. We can even set up a phone call if that helps.

[@TheGbortnick]

Great help! Right now we are using National Geographic road atlas but just don’t see how you are using the Delorme maps. Might be a good idea for a new video. We live near Gatlinburg Tn so if you are ever near hear we have full hookups for ya!

Why were the cows not wanted? Just curious.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Mostly because Roodle will not stop barking at them.

[@sflscott11]

Nice video, sound could use some adjustments :)

[@bosstoryhour]

are your coordinates just to the general locations, not specific sites?

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

We usually include specific locations😃

[@wildone2163]

I would stay there....why come back to crazy civilization.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

We will surely be returning! What an amazing location to escape to. 😀

Another nice video. I always enjoy the scenes you capture. The lightening shot was cool. Also, you mentioned adding a heater to your van in this video. I plan to be traveling and working on the road from January to June in my van Promaster. The winter is my concern because I have external water tank. Any suggestions to spend the winter to avoid water tank from freezing? Thanks again for your wonderful video.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Hi stickybee2, we do have some suggestions. We will get back to you soon with some helpful information.😀

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

+stickybee2 I’m sure we will end up in the southwest ourselves later this winter. Here are a few areas that Dave has picked out. All of these are on BLM LAND. This is just a small portion, you could also head into Texas to padre island or Quartsite Arizona ( super crowded) Yuma Area~American Girl Mine 32.8367, -114.8120 ehrenberg, Arizona 33.5837, 114.4759 Home of 2020 schoolie Palooza Parker, Arizona 34.1718,-114.3766 Lake Havasu ~ Craggy Wash (our fav so far) 34.5935, -114.3604

Yes, the Southwest is where I heard to hang out. Living in So Cal, these places are not too far from me. I actually stayed at Quarztsite last January for my RV meetup event. It wasn't too cold. Perhaps, I'll see you both the upcoming winter year there. I'll also consider the route planning service you provide. At this point, looking to do a Western U.S. National Parks tour January to June. I have 21 sites so far I like to travel and work from. Thanks again!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

+stickybee2 very cool! We would love to meet you in the Southwest! We are going to stay north for as long as we can. We are looking forward to playing in the snow a bit! We just did route planning for a bucket list National park tour of capital Reef, Bryce Canyon, Zion, and the Grand Canyon for a patron.... he had the BEST TIME! We applied for the National Park job from on michelob Beer where they pay us $50,000 to tour and photograph National Parks for 6 months..... my (Carrie) DREAM job!!

Nice.. What's the name of this lake?

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Willow Lake. If you are interested we usually put info and coordinates In the video description.

[@Nova2032-]

WHATS THE NAME OF THE LAKE / CAMPGROUND? Geeze! No help just saying that it’s 12 miles from Pinedale. Do you know how many lakes are around Pinedale?

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

+maxine williams hello! Thanks for stopping by and checking out our channel! Just an FYI….. if you check out our video descriptions you will find info about that area and gps coordinates. We are one of the very few channels who provide these details. For example this is what is written in this video description box…I just copied it to paste it here: Coordinates (42.9922, -109.9038) Willow Lake If this Boondocking spot had palm trees you would have thought we were at a tropical oasis!! Instead we traded those palm trees in for Aspen trees..... and it couldn’t have been more PERFECT!! In fact we love this spot SO MUCH that we spent a full two weeks at this location! Happy Boondocking!

Hi there!!! beautiful place and video! Thank you for sharing as always! Question for you: why the residence in South Dakota? is it more convenient than Nevada? What is your take on that?

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

South Dakota makes it super easy to become a resident. You only need to spend one night in the state and have a recipe. They also have very cheap registration and insurance and a bonus of no state tax. We got set up in Box Elder, South Dakota with America's mailbox. The give us a home address and forward our mail /vehicle registration right to us. It took Carrie and I eight minutes to get both our new state driver's license. The short answer-Its quick, easy, and cheap. We have also heard good things about Nevada, Texas, and Florida. Please let us know if you have more questions. You know we love to be helpful. 😀

[@adavell]

@@oneadVANtureatatime I know you are really helpful to so many people for many different reasons, you are one of the most reliable and kind youtubers I know and I am always grateful to you, nice, honest people. Maybe you could do a video on residence advantages in South Dakota and health care. Do you have to a health plan coverage? If so: does it cover you anywhere you are? I think those are always the most pressing questions of anyone wanting to get off the rat race. Thank you again for always taking time to respond!!! I hope you are having a nice afternoon in a nice place!!!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

We are currently working the beet harvest in Sidney, Montana. It looks like we will be done in a week or so depending on the weather. We have thought about doing a video on South Dakota residency and we should do one 😀 As far as health care we are hoping to be able to afford some for Carrie by next year. I was in the military and just got signed up for VA health insurance recently. We just need to get this channel a little more successful. 😀

[@adavell]

@@oneadVANtureatatime That makes total sense!!! Thank you and good luck with the harvest! I know it is hard work but I hope you are having fun and making good friends too! Take care and thank you again!

@@oneadVANtureatatime Hey Dave! Thank you for the name of the lake . It looked fantastic! My name is Jodi, and my husband's name is Curt, and we are planning to do the sugar beet harvest at some point in the future. I hear it's boring and cold but the money's great. LOL. I just wanted to tell you that I love the videos you put out and you guys do a fantastic job. Take care Dave and Carrie!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Thank you! We had a good time at the sugar beet harvest and hope to do it next year. It’s definitely worth checking into. 😀

[@jodiklebs1288]

@@oneadVANtureatatime Cool about the sugar beet harvest! Was it worth it financially for you guys?

It is a boathouse

No place I’d rather be than Pinedale

[@musicmarlene]

How do I find this lake? Is Paradise a town in Wyoming?

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

+Marlene Stein we just called this lake paradise but the real name is Willow Lake. It is a few miles outside of the Wyoming town of Pinedale. You can find the coordinates in our video description.
