You can camp for free in national forests. Just drive out to the woods and set up a tent. Some rules apply (For example, in Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, you can't create new campsites or roads, or clear ground by cutting vegetation.)
Wait this is actually true? I always felt like it changes from forest to forest, and I usually avoid anywhere it doesn't explicitly say so. Gotta do some more research I guess.
There are some rules, but generally speaking there are spaces where you can camp up to 14 days. Probably call before you set up camp. 🙂
Yeah I immediately went and read the rules, very nice. It's annoyingly hard to get a place to camp for a couple days near me and it's fun to test out my new hiking gear. Thank you!
Depends, this isn’t universally true. Some popular areas (near national parks, etc) have restrictions on them. But otherwise it’s usually fair game. So worth double checking but it’s often true.
BLM land is the same way though I have been shot at by rednecks there so keep in mind some areas can be a bit lawless.
