"What climbing the corporate ladder looks like now"
At Bundokin, our mission is simple yet profound: to help you achieve a healthier work-life balance by immersing yourself in nature and embracing the off-grid lifestyle. Founded by a dedicated veteran who sought solace and rejuvenation through the great outdoors, Bundokin is more than just a company—it’s a commitment to transforming lives.
After serving honorably in the United States Army for over 20 years, our founder transitioned to the defense industry, climbing the corporate ladder to an executive-level position. Despite the professional success, the relentless pursuit of balance and peace led to a significant life change. In 2018, seeking a more fulfilling and natural lifestyle, our founder embraced remote work and embarked on a quest to reconnect with nature.
This journey spanned over 20,000 miles across the country, visiting national parks and exploring remote areas in search of the perfect location to create a transformative experience. In 2022, the vision came to fruition with the discovery of a breathtaking 50-acre property in Etlan, Virginia, nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Untouched and off-grid, this land became the cornerstone of Bundokin.
The name “Bundokin” is inspired by the Tagalog word bundok, meaning mountain, which reflects our commitment to helping you escape the hustle of everyday life. It’s a nod to the American slang boondocks and the modern concept of boondocking, representing a return to simple, off-grid living.
At Bundokin, we offer a range of experiences designed to immerse you in nature and provide a respite from the demands of modern life. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat, an adventurous escape, or a chance to reconnect with loved ones, our off-grid campground offers a sanctuary to rejuvenate your spirit.
Our approach is eco-friendly and designed to help you find a balanced, sustainable lifestyle. By choosing Bundokin, you’re not just booking a camping trip—you’re embracing a lifestyle change that promotes mental and physical well-being. We invite you to explore the transformative power of nature with Bundokin. No matter your background, job, or location, our experiences are crafted to help you find balance and inspiration. Discover the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains and let the natural world guide you towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.
