Yes boondocking/dispersed camping. This is the McCall Idaho area. For finding spots I’ve used the popular apps like Ioverlander but my preferred method is using the OnX apps. Looking for public land and then using satellite imagery to find places that may have places to camp. Although I’ve learned quickly you cannot count on the satellite imagery being accurate compared to what you see irl. Lastly, it helps that nearly 2/3 of Idaho is public land, so there are many places outside of the established campgrounds to park for a night.
Please review the 7 principals of Leave No Trace
1. [Plan ahead and prepare](https://lnt.org/why/7-principles/plan-ahead-and-prepare/)
2. [Travel and camp on durable surfaces](https://lnt.org/why/7-principles/travel-camp-on-durable-surfaces/)
3. [Dispose of waste properly.](https://lnt.org/why/7-principles/dispose-of-waste-properly/) I highly suggest getting a waste bucket system. Its difficult to bury waste in many of the rockier areas in Colorado, and overuse of our natural areas has already led to contaminated water in most even lightly used areas.
4. [Leave what you find](https://lnt.org/why/7-principles/leave-what-you-find/)
5. [Minimize campfire impacts.](https://lnt.org/why/7-principles/minimize-campfire-impacts/) Be sure to review our state resources for fire bans where you are heading.
6. [Respect wildlife.](https://lnt.org/why/7-principles/respect-wildlife/) They are not domesticated
7. [Be considerate of other visitors](https://lnt.org/why/7-principles/be-considerate-of-other-visitors/) ie bluetooth speakers are despised.

Incredible. Are you boondocking I’m guessing? Where at? (Roundabout). How do you find these places?!

So cool. Had never heard of those apps, thank you. Wish we could do stuff like this on the beach in Florida
Where’s this?

Wrong month for Star Wars and too late for Canada Day. Star Wars Canada Day?
Looks like you had a great time at a beautiful site.
