Boondocking at Roosevelt Lake ranks as one of my favorite times during the 5 months we spent snowbirding last winter. The 4 nights we spent there, were to be the last of the trip with our friends Bill and Georgie, whom we met a Kartchner Caverns State Park about 6 weeks before.

If you've done any camping in B.C.'s interior provincial parks, you know that means NO hook-ups --- no electricity, water or sewer --- at the site.
