the long trail starts in N.Adams and runs north into Vermont,if you are hiking.there is also a campground in the state forest along Route 2 near thereD.A.R. has one too,check the state parks and campground guide for that area available at visitors center.Department Of recreation and conservation has listings too.

Where and how can I go Wild Camping?

Preferably during the winter and in the northeast.

Well, if you haven't totally mastered winter camping yet I'd try the Adirondak Loj (yes, that's spelled correctly) near Lake Placid. They have campsites and lean-tos all year and the Loj and High Peaks Center are open if you need a place to warm up or crash (for a fee). If the weather is too bad it's a short drive into town for a hotel.
If you like to backpack, then try any of the cabins on the Long Trail in VT or the huts in the Whites. We hiked a flat 7 miles into Zealand Hut a few years back. There was a cheaper winter rate at the huts..not the extortion rates of the summer. Pitch a tent outside and if the weather is wicked...opt for the hut. I often went to Spuce Peak Cabin in VT between Bromley and Stratton on the LT. It's free. Again, you can camp outside or duck in the cabin if the snow starts falling too much for your taste.
If you have mastered the winter camping arts and want a challenge, then pick up a guidebook for just about any place and go for it.
I always hike in, so my idea of good places may be skewed towards backpacking, but here are some I like.
Moosalamoo/Silver Lake in Vermont; Stratton Pond in VT; Marcy Dam shelters in the High Peaks of NY; Anywhere on the Loyalsock Trail in PA; Putnam Pond area near Lake George is nice too...lots of shelters and campsites to choose from. Great for a weekend snowshoe loop hike.
check out the websites for the ADK, GMC, and AMC for more info:
www.adk.org
www.greenmountainclub.org
www.outdoors.org (I think that's the AMC site)
If you really want wild, then try the wilderness areas in the Green Mountain or White Mountain National Forests...just leave a note with the rangers so they know where to look for your body in the event you don't come back.
