Where can one tent camp in USA for free?




bitegrande


I want to do primitive camping (campfire, bathing in a river or pond, digging a latrine like in Boy Scout handbook) and enjoy privacy and nature. I'd prefer the warm South.

Any ideas? Thanks.



Answer
Here in Oregon, if the campsite does not have water, the site is free. These are usually 100 miles inland from the ocean. You cannot dig a toilet, but there are pit toilets or port-a-johns available.

Other than that, you will need to contact private landowners for permission to camp.

Answer
If you've never been to camp it will be very difficult to write a good story about going to camp. Some kids love it and others try it once and hate it.

There are all sorts of different kinds of camps. Traditionally most were in the summer months and based on spending time outdoors and learning about the natural environment and outdoor survival skills with hiking, camping, swimming, boating, etc. Some were sponsored by churches that included religious education. Today there are music camps, sports camps, horse camps, camps to lose weight or even camps where you can learn a foreign language. There is a camp for almost anything you (or your parents) might be interested in.

Usually "camp" lasts a week or two and campers have a place to sleep in a dormitory, cabin or tent. For some camps you bring your own sleeping bag. There is usually a large dining hall where meals are served. The adults supervising the camps are called counselors not "guards". If swimming is included there would be lifeguards in the swimming area. There are other staff that cook meals, do maintenance, provide first aid for minor injuries or teach specific skills and administer the camp.

There are feelings and details about the experience that you will won't get from answers on Yahoo. I've included some links that might give you some idea of what it is like, but I would suggest you either spend a week at a camp or write about something else that you know from your own experiences. It's hard to get the details right if you've never been to camp.
