boondocked
Camped without hookups
Boondocked is the past tense of boondock, meaning to camp in a remote, undeveloped area without hookups to water, electricity, or sewage—typically in an RV or camper: We boondocked in the desert for a week.
The term comes from boondocks, slang for rough backcountry.
It can also mean stranded or stuck in an isolated place.
