[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ Boon Docking Free in National Forests, Camping for Free

[LDHunter]

I've camped many times in the national forests in Florida and it's almost always free if you stay out of the campgrounds with utilities or hosts.

You don't really even have to camp in the campgrounds unless it's deer hunting season and even then there are some free places if you don't mind being around a bunch of barking dogs and hunters drinking beer. LOL

Most of the year you have the forest all to yourselves and there are some great places to camp with rivers, lakes, ponds, creeks and the roads are usually passable for any truck camper as long as you watch out for sugar sand or washouts.

I've always had 4wd trucks and have either pulled small travel trailers or had slide in campers.

I have always assumed that camping in national forest nationwide was the same and when I lived in Woodland Park Colorado I camped a fair amount with my motorcycles and my bronco with a travel trailer and never even once paid to camp.

I guess I've always taken free camping for granted but usually my trips would be from home to a known (to me) camping place and back home. I guess it would be a lot different on the road to somewhere else far far away...

I think you can also camp almost anywhere on BLM land as well too right?
