Renegade Camping, Dispersed Camping, & Boondocking

Dispersed Camping is basically no power, no crowds, no modern luxuries, No Worries! it’s just you and the good old outdoors. Dispersed Camping is also sometimes referred to as , Renegade Camping, Primitive or Backcountry camping and boondocking.

Scattered across the country we have millions of acres of public land for you to take advantage of.
Most people that camp off the grid will pick a road in the national forest or off some other public land, and then keep on driving. When the road ends, The real adventurer won’t stop until they find the perfect spot.

I recommend choosing a road that is not often traveled. Roads with signs usually mean there will be to many people, and might not be the best spots to set up camp. Old dirt roads and old abandoned rail lines are some of the best places to look for.

Unless otherwise posted all National Forest land is open to camping. (but please make sure to respect the land, leaving garbage or driving over vegetation ruins it for everyone)
