[@tlouiseallen9302]

There’s some great free camping up around Eagle Lake. Not too far from Susanville, CA.

[@SueCL1480]

Robin, Can a 36 ft diesel A Class motorhome towing a Honda CRV access all these places?

[@REALPLANETXVIDEOZ]

BETTER TO KEEP YOUR SECRET SPOTS TO YOURSELF,,,,,,,,,LAST THING YOU NEED IS TRAFFIC AT YOUR SPOT 🤔

[@cheryllovestoread]

We live right over Walker Pass from Inyokern. Thank you so very much for telling everyone to “pack it out!” I cannot tell you how much disgusting stuff has to be hauled out of our National Forest by volunteers using grant money because some people are horrible. Thanks for highlighting our neck of the woods.

[@Damethefirst]

Love how Doug is getting into videos with you, the two of you are a gas!!

[@PrincessJamiG]

I know!! Aren't they so great together? ❤

[@kimberlyw.8747]

I have to say Robin that this is got to be my favorite channel on youtube. You're editing and narration skills are top notch and I love the way you share this invaluable RV travel knowledge unselfishly! Kudos to you for all your efforts 😘. I am currently living in a 27 ft travel trailer in an RV park and it's pretty inexpensive for the location, however, my goal was to find a small drivable RV and do what you're doing - but I really don't want to do it alone.

[@feliciahazelton754]

Lived for a couple of years in lone pine in the 70’s. Schaats one of our favs. Good job Birds.

[@LeftCoastCowgirl]

I’m loving the Doug and Robin Show! And you went to one of my favorite stomping grounds: 395 and the Eastern Sierras.

[@seekingjoynow1722]

Yes, 395 is the best. Time for me to go there again, it's been awhile.

[@RoamTownGirl]

This seriously could not have come at a better time, so thank you so much!! 🤗 I'm currently in your home state of Colorado, where I'm finding that the RV parks (and campgrounds) here are both super duper expensive and all booked up!!😲 So, after 3 years on the road (and only boondocking because I meet up with people who give me their coordinates), I'm finally learning how to do this on my own 🤓 In fact, I'm at my 1st self sourced spot and I have to move in 2 days...and now you've given me some wonderful information to help find my next place to go 😁👍 Yeah, Creativity RV to the rescue 💕

[@BlueSky-ff4oy]

Hi Roamtowngirl!

[@RoamTownGirl]

@@BlueSky-ff4oy Hey to you too 🖐️

[@RoamTownGirl]

@DewdropN Fancy meetin' you here 🤪

[@mingjone882]

Hi Robin, Have been watching your vids for >2 yrs now and finally starting to live my part of the dream...thank you for continuing to branch out with new content that is so relevant and helpful for me being so non tech-y.

[@judivowell5748]

I've lived in Bishop for several years. I'm not being snotty but just an FYI, I asked Mr Schat how to pronounce his name. It's pronounced "shots". So you can sound like a local 😉. Thank you for your videos. I learn new stuff all the time. Didn't know about the usland app. I've been full time for three weeks now and that will hopefully really help. Hard to find places to park this year. Best to you and Doug.

[@pleinaire8698]

YES!! definitely pronounced "shots"..We've had one in Carson City for the last ten years and I love their bakery!! and their turkey sandwiches!!

[@andreap2244]

umm I heard it was Shhhaat.

[@angelacarter6593]

This is the best video I've seen on how to find a good dispersed camping spot. So many are really vague or aimed more at people in small 4x4s.

[@TheHapiCamper]

Funny how everybody is on the exact same wavelength this week. Every video that I’ve watched on all the channels that I watched have talked about where to camp. If only all of you would have put your videos up three weeks ago, I wouldn’t of had to pay for camping in California all the way up the coast! I was told in more than one place that dispersed camping was now out could not do it in the entire state of California. One of the places that I camped was Lake Tahoe. I did get away with one night in a forest Tahoe national Forest. But was scared to death the entire night because I wasn’t sure if I could be there. I ended up paying $21 to park in a parking lot of a campground that was completely full because they don’t allow dispersed camping anymore. This was on Lake Tahoe. So for $21 I had a beautiful view of the lake. But I was in a parking lot which is the point. Robin this was an amazing video I absolutely loved this video. I want to go to the exact areas that you talked about in this particular video. I wanted to go out to 395 but was talked out of it by somebody who lived in California. Telling me all the 395 has nothing on it. So I ended up going up the five whichReally has nothing on it!. Thank you for sharing this I am definitely going to download that app. By the way, it was my very first trip in my mini van. Finding a place to park was very stressful. Had to leave it in God’s hands. He never let me down. Yay! Now, because of your video I’ll have more tools in the toolbox of being on the road.

[@andreap2244]

i learned to take advice from somebody that lives in CA with a big ole grain of SALT!

[@TheHapiCamper]

@@andreap2244 I hear that!

[@donnasmith3798]

The Eastern Sierra's are a jewel. I grew up in the Ridgecrest/ China Lake area. As a kid, I loved going to Walker's Pass to sled in winter, Robber's Roost for picnicking and scurrying around on the rocks. As a teenager I camped many times at Mammoth but not before stopping at Schat's for Sheepherder's bread. Hwy 395 has improved over the years. In 1970 it was 2 lanes 90% of the way to Reno! The Walker River area farther north on hwy 395 was devastated by a flood in the mid 90's. The canyon is just beginning to come back...still beautiful!

[@seansdadpit]

Wife and I met in Mammoth in 1971 and Schat's was the place to go. The Condo boom was just starting to take off. At that time the Old Mammoth meadow was completely empty. We still love the area.

[@msdella4253]

Thank you for all your much-appreciated information about finding beautiful camp spots!

[@nicolefields5917]

Thanks for these tips on camping on BLM, etc. land. Loved watching you drive up to the top of the mountain for the Bristlecone Pine trail while listening to Yaz-one of my all time favorites! Looking forward to the next installation in this series!

[@TheGbortnick]

really like this new approach to finding free camping. if you could, show us how you start out in one app, go to another, and search out the best spot. show some of the difficulties and how to work it out. show all options. thanks so much!

[@desertbluecatnm]

I agree it was a bit fast for a novice. I think she has a different older video that goes more step by step and between apps, maybe check her Playlist, the title should be about finding campsites.

[@pennywilkinson6058]

Love your show and I too grew up every summer in the High Sierras; Bishop, Mammoth Lakes, Dinky Creek & Kern County & the old 395. These areas so Beautiful. I was very fortunate having seen enjoyed and fished these mountain areas in the 60s & 70s which were more beautiful then than they are now. (so sad). Man has stripped so many forest. I had driven through hugh Redwood Sequoia's which are now gone but never forgotten. Thank you for the memories. I'm hoping to revist them again soon. Keep on keeping on!

[@scotthammond8120]

Thank you very much Robyn!!! We all appreciate you! ❤️

[@colleenlevy825]

I have lived in Reno since 1976 and I absolutely love how much BLM land surrounds us. Boondocking is our favorite way to camp when we are traveling and we also love to ride our ATV. There are so many neat places to explore and even though I have lived in Nevada for nearly 45 years I am always finding places that I never knew existed. I love your videos and all the information that you share!! Thank you! also, you and Doug are so cute and I really get a kick out of you guys!!

[@malcolmnicoll1165]

Hi Robin. We met twice at the RTRs. Just a shout out to say thank you for these awesome insider tips. Most appreciated.

[@dio3744]

Great video as usual! Thanks Robin! And FYI I have been promoting your book “work from home while you roam” on the Girl Campers Facebook group. You have a lot of fans there!

[@SLloyd-qb8kt]

I'm so glad Doug has joined you! His antics make me laugh! Loving your videos. Thanks for sharing!

[@amycoffin826]

I don't have a RV 🚚 and have not been a camper 🏕, but for the last couple of years I have been a wishful voyeur 👀🙂 on a number of "RV/traveling" sites on KZbin. I really enjoyed this episode. 👍 It was encouraging, uplifting and very informative. 😀 You provided very useful tips in a easy, clear-cut way. Thank you for all your efforts in creating your wonderful site. Happy camping!!!! 🌄

[@borandell9915]

Great video. This is exactly the strategy I'm using for my current boondocking trip. It really works. Especially in the rocky mountains

[@wendyshepard2080]

Awesome info! Ended up installing Technomadia app collection ($8.99) which includes the US Public Lands app ($2.99) and an app for carrier coverage and state lines app guide to state laws. Thought all could be beneficial, we shall see! 395 is a great route, traveled there on my honeymoon about 30 years ago. And got to tell ya, Doug is a huge asset to the channel!!!

[@peggyleonard9810]

This series was a great idea! Looking forward to every one.

[@hartsm76]

This video is right on time. Plus---Yaz!!! That makes this even that much more awesome.

[@marylublankenship6398]

My husband and his family are from bishop and I love that bakery!!!

[@kimholcomb6759]

Robin, You are Amazing...Thank you for all the inspiration and useful information

[@stacyberry6097]

Really enjoy that you video you and Doug being silly or in the truck. Glad he's traveling now. Finally my spouse will watch a video with me when I say "hey Dougs with Robin on this video. 😁 Happy travels!

[@GoOnTravelGetLost]

Thanks for posting! Always love your videos! You two stay safe. Catch you next time.

[@shannonshepard3021]

Thank You Thank You, Have a Blessed trip

[@steveandereggen3182]

Your video is super and information explained clearly. Bishop and East side of mountains is real America and beautiful. Great people too.

[@carolyntolliver1146]

I love how you two are so compatible, having a great time together. Good for you!!!

[@kdearcangelis72165]

Glad I found your videos! I will be a nomad sooner than later and certainly appreciate your experience!!!

[@laurajphillips]

Great Vid, it’s wonderful to see you both so happy! Love It!

[@lifeoflucretia]

Hey Robin! I LOVE the 'book case' on your desk!!! What a GREAT IDEA!!! OMGGGGG THAT VIEW! I don't blame u for 'nosing' in. 😍 AGREE ON 🌳! As OREGONIANS we are TREE PEOPLE!😁 U cannot how UTTERLY HAPPY we were when we left Quartzsite after our 1st time there...and headed home and HIT TREES! It was a...beautiful shock to the senses! Much ❣to u and Doug. Blessed and safe 🙏travels. LUCRETIA

[@TheLakingc]

I grew up on the Oregon Coast and been following trees and creeks since. I am puzzled by desert lovers! 😊

[@bah5310]

We rode our motorcycle across the country and ended up in Bishop CA one night. I asked were I could get a good steak dinner and the desk clerk said, "next door at the bowling alley". The best steak ever. We still talk about that place. Thanks for the tips

[@hipdogdsv]

Hahaha, Doug's face when the road turned to one lane was priceless! Butt biting the chair, Doug????

[@lauramooney5181]

OMG! Robin (and Doug) you have the BEST videos!! So much info always, your videos are short and now the travel aspect is just perfect!

[@craftytraveler9238]

Thanks for the great video. I have camped up the areas of 395 most of my life. First with my parents and now with my husband. We usually camp in NF campgrounds. We could boondock for about 5 days with a full tank of water and a lot of conservation. Yes Schats is the best. There is a Schats bakery in Ukiah, Ca near where I live.

[@rhondamontiel3827]

I just love you and your videos. So happy you got your man out there with you! Life is much more fun when you can share it with someone

[@donnat2793]

And thank you for the suggestions on the Amazon prime day gear. I was able to get the dehumidifier and the holding tank deodorizer pods.

[@tamipatient2632]

Awesome video! LOL watching you & Doug. :-) Safe travels

[@presleyloves]

Thank you! This new series is fan-flippin-tastic!! You 2 cuties are adorables!! 💕

[@janmoline]

Hey, thanks for such a positive review of the camping and resources along 395! I’ve been camping and fishing between the Ridgecrest turn off (HWY 178) and Lee Vining, north of Mammoth since 1964! My uncle and my Dad were fabulous outdoorsmen and taught us respectful use of the land as children. We arrived early enough to gather trash, in and around the site, before we set up camp and left early enough to do so again after we tore down the camp. The area of clean up expanded as we grew, always included my Dad’s beautiful baritone,singing songs that were just enough on the wild side that my Mum gave him pointed looks but not far enough that she’d shut him down, and plenty of laughter and good memories. Can’t wait to purchase my new rig and hit the road again, SOON!!!!

[@suepalmer9044]

My travels is what you guys show me ,,and no cost to me lol. Have fun and keep safe. From Valliant Okla

[@LisaFaiss]

Very nice format. Travel pics and stories along with tutorials. Perfect mix.

[@jenniferm761]

There used to be hot springs at Reds Meadows outside of Mamouth. And Reds Meadows is beautiful.

[@karlag1912]

Great video I cant wait to watch the whole series. You and doug are so perfect for each other. Very informative thank you

[@cindibee7]

Awesome information. We are in such a bubble . We aren't very adventuresome so it's nice to learn from the Pros like you. Thank you.

[@Tumbleweed5150]

I just showed my Lindy-love some great camping spots all along the 395, including around Bishop and Mammoth Lakes. Appreciate the video. We both downloaded the US Public Lands app.

[@lindy2]

Aw sounds like you are quite the catch 🪝🎏💖💖

[@carriemainquist757]

Super smart on ginding a spot. I've been wary of the free camp site apps. Seems to good to be true. Very helpful!

[@36PawsPNWC]

This is my first comment, though I have been watching your channel for a while. Thank you for sharing excellent information! Well done video. Best to you and Doug!

[@qwickening]

Quick question from a PNW camper: Any tips for finding spots buried in trees? I find that it's hard to find the "little veins" off the side of the road when the trees block the road in satellite view. (Thanks for this video, BTW!)

[@susancaleca4796]

Was glad to see you after a yr or so.

[@pvestudio105]

Thanks Robin and Doug I really like the new format of the travels video excellent move!

[@marydd4147]

Great video! I'm in an RV park that hosted a party yesterday with set up starting at 6am. Lots of cars and people attending. Today I'm listening to camp hosts yelling, driving mowers and Polaris vehicles, and dogs barking since 6:30 am. Now I LOVE people, and usually wake up at 5 am, but this is a bit much!

[@thesunnyspot508]

Love, love, love your channel!

[@OhioGalReads]

Wow! I really like this video. The tips about how to find campsites are awesome. Love the videography too!😎🌈

[@n1uno1965]

Hoping you are having a great time teaching Doug! He’s such a cutie! Thank you for all you do! 🖖🏻👍🏻😘🙏🏻

[@meganworth4734]

Thank you for sharing! So every time I went to white mountain where bristolcone park is located has snowed on memorial day all three times I went! I would say that the 395 has the most gorgeous scenery in the state! It's the best backpacking! So glad you got to see it! Schott's is the best bakery in Bishop but they have a small shop also in Mammoth. :) Happy trails!

Not much choice in winter.

[@robertalynch5433]

Thanks Robin and Doug! I love 395. There are several hot springs in the area. Check them out. I am going to love this series.

Your avocado toast with Trader Joe's bagels seasoning on it is making me hungry. I like your app suggestion.

Question: Where did you find the tool you use to pick up trash? That would be so much better than picking things up with my hands! Thanks for all you do to keep us all inspired and on the road. Hope you continue to enjoy your summer.

[@hollyfisher8811]

Have been to Schat's Bakery more times than I can count as went-up 395 from S. Cali to Reno my entire life to see family and ski Tahoe🏔; plus, fished all those LOVELY areas around Lone Pine and Bishop with my Pops while growing-up🐟!! Wonderfully amazing memories... Also, y'all must visit "Holy Smoke Texas Style BBQ" in Bishop, where the GIANT Baked Taters are positively stuffed with pulled-pork or brisket, then topped with mac'n cheese or cole slaw and the BEST BBQ sauce, ever...Seriously amazing food😋🍗:)

[@shellyscott6447]

Love you showing how to find those spots!! Don't like the crowds in campsites.. Thank You!!

[@dynamite9143]

Beautiful scenery and truthful experiences! Love you guys!

[@Banagal]

This was a fire and ice tour for sure. Well done. Thanks 😊

[@ajspence3335]

Thank you for the info…can’t wait to see your next episode!

[@munchie3310]

Independence California is a great place to go. We had been there to visit and the land is BLM. There is a camper park but you should be able to find something else more private. Go west of Independence on Onion Valley Road to find a spot. You have dessert and mountains with Death Vally to the east. Bodie California is another great place but a long ruff dirt road. Wish I had an RV. Happy Camping!!!

[@thizizliz]

You two crack me up. Seems you know how to have fun together. For me, I need to spend a couple of days at elevation before hiking at the Bristlecone Pines. Otherwise I just can't do it - the path goes up and up but dang, it's worth the hard work. Amazing how the eco systems change and the views and of course those amazing old trees! I'll make note of Robertos - thanks for the tip.

[@Joe33305]

Great video, thanks.

Thank you so much! This is perfect timing - I am planning a trip out west to visit loved ones and on the way back I want to boondocks camp around Zion/Bryce. I hav never boondocked on BLM land before - so I have a major learning curve w navigation, learning where to camp, etc. this video helped tremendously! Love your videos - filled w inspiration, information and wit!

AWESOME video...great info, great photos, some fun and laughter.....Love the new direction you are both going in! Thank you, thank you for sharing such important advise on how to find wonderful, free spots that are not crowded!
