Answer
Get a good map of the Appalachian Trail (many online, i.e. appalachian trail conference) in MA,VT,NH. The trail comes down in gaps and crosses roads, clearly listed. Sometimes, there are lean-to shelters within a short hike of the road, and places to park. Almost always, whenever there is one of these shelters, there is fresh water nearby (marked by blue trail blazes, as opposed to white trail blazes).
I'm a former Appalachian Trail "Thru-Hiker," which means I hiked the entire trail from GA to ME, and I assure you, some of the very, very best wilderness camping in America is to be found in Western Mass, VT, and NewHampshire. You can get really good "strip maps,"topographical maps of the areas, which lists all water sources, elevation profiles, etc...every possible detail. I would name a few spots, but there are so many wonderful ones...the key, for you, is to find places where the AT crosses roads, and there is long-term parking nearby, and of course, you don't have to hike too far in to a "shelter" area, or rest stop. You don't have to stay in the wooden lean-to's...there are plenty of nice tent spots around, and the all important water source. Just google, say, "map of appalachian trail" for a start, but the important thing is to get one of the detailed sectionals from the ATC. Hope this helps. Man, I envy you...it's so beautiful out there. Say hello for me!
