RVing Slab City, California

RVING SLAB CITY, CALIFORNIA, is a complete guide to RVing to what is often referred to as the 'Last Free Place." In the United States we have freedom to roam in Recreational Vehicles, which are commonly referred to as RVs, like nowhere else in the world. Though rarely marked on maps, there is a place in California known as Slab City or The Slabs that takes this RVing freedom to the extreme. It is not only free of boondocking (also known as "dry" camping or staying in an RV without hookups) fees, it is also largely free of rules and regulations. Before I had actually been there and boondocked there and experienced it for myself, I could not believe that such a place could exist. Now that I have been there, its existence still seems problematical to me. One of the reasons I keep returning is, I think, to see if it is still there as I remember it to have been. The talk of "developing" it was around long before I first went there, and it continues. It is known as "the last free place," but I have no idea how much longer this will continue. Development will surely mean fees and restrictions, so if you want to experience the off-the-grid free and unrestricted boondocking in your RV, you had better do it now. This book is all about what led me to Slab City, why I keep returning, and what I do while I am there. And more importantly it is about how you can experience Slab City for yourself. This book is intended as a complete guide for RVing Slab City, with history and how Slab City came to be thrown in for good measure. It's also about boondocking in RVs in general and in Slab City in particular. Slab City is off the grid. There are no hookups. If you want to spend time in your RV at Slab City, you boondock. There is no other choice. This book shows how.
