Disconnect from the campground, and fill up the fresh water tanks, charge the batteries, and connect with nature and our hosts instead. Boondockers Welcome is a venue where RVers can connect and welcome each other to camp on their property, with no expectations of being paid in anything more than gratitude and a pay-it-forward spirit.

  • The Dyrt

    The Dyrt team loves to camp, travel, and do fun things outside, but grew frustrated searching online for info on campgrounds and outdoor adventures. “Phone a friend” is usually the key for solid recommendations, except when you don’t have a friend where you’re trying to go.

    Looking at review platforms like Yelp or TripAdvisor, they thought: Why can’t this exist for the outdoors? So, they assembled a team of outdoor enthusiasts with years of experience in the software and marketing worlds to make it happen.

    Hence The Dyrt was born. A place where anyone can share their campsite stories and learn from others across the country. The Dyrt is now the fastest growing camping app on web and mobile, with new features being rolled out regularly.
