Okay, you're out boondocking, enjoying your favorite spot in the middle of nowhere, then all of sudden, it happens! What is your biggest boondocking pet peeve or the one thing you really hate when you're out boondocking in your favorite spot?

I'm conducting a poll asking this question and would really like to get your thoughts on the matter. Vote in the poll.

Some one parks and sets up camp 10' away from you with RV full of screaming kids, a large commercial generator, and the kids and animals are running loose all over the place.

LOL! That about sums up all the things I hate when I'm boondocking.

Yup.. no brainer... obnoxious company nearby.

I enjoy having most types of people around. But, I do appreciate them being respectfull of the solitude boondocking offers. Conversation around a fire is perfectly fine - loud boomboxes with rap music and yelling kids is not.

I voted seeing another person. When I boondock I use the true meaning of the word, way out there with rough hard trails to get there. I'm not boondocking if I am where a family RV can pull in and park beside me. That's just dry camping!!!!
