Hosts offer free parking (boondocking) to our members. If they provide hookups, they are incurring a cost for your stay and should be compensated. Hosts that offer other services, such as water, WIFI data, or dump station, are permitted to additional compensation if used by the member.

Hosts are encouraged to include details in their profile about the types and nightly charges for hookups they offer. Be sure to check for any Hookup Notes.

Since our HH Hosts are businesses, we allow them to determine the amount they charge for hookups used per night. These fees can vary for each Host based on their location and business.

Since our BW Hosts are personal residences, they can charge to between $5-$15 a night to allow them to recoup the cost of energy used. BW Hosts are free to request less based on their circumstances, but you should be prepared to offer the amount listed on their profile if it includes one. If you do not use hookups, you are not required to pay the requested donation.

When Hosts do not request an amount and you've used electricity for AC or heating, you should offer $5 to $10 per night (depending on the size of your rig). If you did not run your AC or heat, your electric use was probably minimal, and offering $3 to $5 per night (depending on the size of your rig) is probably enough.

Our BW Hosts are not in this to profit and, after you become fast friends, they may decline your payment. But using hookups and not offering to compensate is not acceptable. Exploiting a host's generosity will result in the loss of guest privileges!
