Free camping in the US
Hi everyone,
Just some advice when going through the USA that many locals dont know. On most, but not all of the public land that is managed by either the US Forest Service or Bureau of Land Management you can camp for free anywhere on the land. They also have designated campgrounds that may or may not be free. Also you may have to get a fire permit (free) to build a campfire or use a stove. Dont get these agencies mixed up with the National Park Service that have a completly diffrent set of rules. These are three diffrent agencies. These agencies have local offices everywhere and can be found in the phone book. I have found that unlike many government officals the people at these agencies are very friendly and bend over backwards to help you. Also if you are passing through northern california drop me a line, I can give you directions to many recources and great rides.
