8 Days Alone Boondocking the Alvord Desert | 1998 Casita Freedom Deluxe

Alvord Desert camping, boondocking Oregon, Steens Mountain, Casita travel trailer I spent eight days alone boondocking on the Alvord Desert in southeast Oregon this past March, with my 1998 Casita Freedom Deluxe and nobody else for miles. A dry lakebed at 4,000 feet below Steens Mountain, with no hookups, no light pollution, and a silence so complete it becomes its own sound. If the Alvord is on your bucket list: come in spring, bring warm layers for cold nights, and tie everything down before the wind finds it.
