2. If you are looking for primitive camping, no camp grounds

and want to pitch a tent in the woods with no hook-ups, you can camp in almost any National Forest for free and anywhere that does not have a "no camping" sign. I've been doing that in Michigan for years. This means millions of acres open to you.

You do not need a permit to camp on the National Forests or in designated campgrounds
If your campfire will be on National Forest System lands you will not need a wood permit to cut firewood.
Dispersed and Primitive tent camping within the Forests is allowed almost anywhere, unless otherwise posted closed and/or "No Camping".
No RV hook-ups are available for water, sewage or electric at any campground.

Excellent idea. I wish we had a way here to start a fund for these campers. littlemissmartypants May 2022 #4
