free camping in wa? where?
What if you don’t want to go west. There is nothing more beautiful than the Appalachian mountains two an a half thousand miles of it. An trees that are not pines that have been burned off black.
Most of Nevada is BLM land. Just watch out for UFOs and aliens.
what about Alaska?
Very little free camping in Washington. I live in Olympia. Some boring spots in the eastern half.
Ya didn’t say anything about Michigan.
Actually didn’t say WHY about almost all of them
Okay near nothing is NOT free, you liberals really should learn to stick to rules and guide lines, especially your own.
Maybe you could spotlight a few good free camping places from Michigan to Colorado. If they exist? Anything in Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, North Texas, Nebraska? These would serve as connective spots between Michigan and Colorado.
Alaska is allows camping just about anywhere!
How does Nevada not even make the list at all when it’s 80% BLM land?
Land of 10000 Lakes didn’t even make your top 10 list wow
More details plz on each campsite and where to find them. That would create more value in the video. Thank you 👍🏼
In California "free camping" (dispersed camping) is available in more locations than the east part of the state, the opportunities to do so increase as you travel northward. In the eastern Sierra, every canyon with a paved road has camping/fire restrictions year round. That is, dispersed camping is not allowed in Bishop Creek Canyon, Convict Canyon, Big Pine Creek, Onion Valley, the Lakes Basin (Mammoth), the Devils Postpile/Red’s Meadow area and within about 2 miles of the town of Mammoth Lakes . . . . . Pretty much every major canyon or destination west of U.S. Highway 395 from Horseshoe Meadow to Twin Lakes (Bridgeport). The Inyo National Forest has the highest amount of use in its developed recreation sites (campgrounds, picnic areas, interpretive sites, etc.) of any National Forest (not National Parks) in the nation, about twice that of the #2 National Forest. It consistently ranks 3rd to 5th in total recreation use for any National Forest. This heavy use requires some restrictions to protect the land and resources. This is not unusual anywhere in the country. Stop by a ranger station or visitor center to obtain maps and other information. Remember that dispersed camping in California requires a fire permit, even if you are only using gas or propane stoves and year round, fire season or not.
Michigan should be number 1
Wikipedia: "The Michigan Department of Natural Resources manages the largest state forest system in the nation (3.9 million acres (16,000 km²)), administered by the Forest Resources Division. "
plus we have
Hiawatha National Forest
Huron National Forest
Huron–Manistee National Forests
as well as our lakefront and beach areas.
all of it can be camped on for free as long as your 1 mile or more from a regulated state camp site. all you need to do is print out a camp registration form and post it at your site.
if you have the dnr print it there is a fee.
New follower here, amazing stuff thx, is there a specific site for the free camping in Idaho, planning on going all summer!! Thanks again 👍
#9 – Unless the "Strong State Park Pass" is free, it’s not free camping. "Near Nothing" is still something.
Oregon. Free Camping. Bwahahahaha.
Is add for airstream????
When you say "free camping" you really mean "free boondocking" right"? Or are you talking about campgrounds with full hookups for free?
Lol Colorado I’m a native and where is the free camping 🏕
Wouldn’t go to Michigan, Utah, California if you paid me. Sure wouldn’t go to Washington state.
Prefer GA, LA, NC, Florida. Plenty of boondocking. Google it. It’s called something different east of the Mississippi..Forest dept and US Corps of something…
I’m glad Illinois didn’t make the list, so I can keep the free camping to myself.
Thanks for the well thought out, and nicely researched video. I would guess that the last quote is from someone who’s name is pronounced as two words rather than as a last name. Van tramp, rather than Vantramp. Just a guess.
LOL, you didn’t mention either of my favorite states for free camping, which pleases me greatly.
How do you FIND the free camping Spots Ya said the States but not the area as to the free camping is offered!!
New sub here.
They charge for you to get into most of the national parks and forests these days!
If your daughter went to college, they would expect you to pay prostitution fee to visit her! This is the greed of the government with OUR PUBLIC LANDS. They steal them from you and then expect to sell them back to the highest bidder…👃
How did Montana not rate?
Too bad my favorite state of Texas couldn’t make the list! Most land in Texas is privately owned so there isn’t much public land. It’s a beautiful state, just not many places to camp.

Where in California???? The south has no free campaign what so ever
Who would want to stay in the 3 most liberal commie shithole states of Oregon, Washington and Kommiefornya even for free?
Nice hat
PLEASE BE QUIET!!!!! Retract what you said about Idaho! Idaho is a horrible place to camp. And Idaho is full! Please take it back!
How many of these can u camp year round in a tent.
Surprised Nevada didn’t make the list,I find just as much there as Arizona.
Correction – these were the top ten states for free camping. Good luck finding a spot now.
Number 1 should of been Alaska. You can camp anywhere within the state.
Glad to hear there are lots of great places. Surprised CA is #2; there is hardly any good free camping in So Cal
NO mention of Florida, North CArolina…? Where do these states come in??
You have obviously never been to Wyoming, Idaho or Utah 😬
Anyone know NC places to camp?? Near Asheville, ideally
Ty ty ty
I’m confused, are you camping or moving a mobile home around to places?
I’d love to find some free camping in Illinois.
Man, I am in the south, La. and Ms. can’t find anything to get away to, hate all the camp grounds around here only because they are so crowded.
Thought I Saw a little sales pitch for Airstream…
Montana?
Dude, give more info.
What’s not to love about Oregon?
Portland?
How is Nevada not even on this list? Since the vast majority of it is BLM land. Meaning as long as you don’t set up camp forever and are just passing through most of the time you can camp freely with no issues.
