About
The majority of campgrounds in the national forests are primitive. Outside of the recreational areas there is a chance to camp for free. It is not usually possible to get portable water, toilets, and other amenities. It's a good idea to bring adequate water or purify any water source before taking a drink. If you leave your garbage for other people to clean up, you may be in violation of the Laws of the United States. There is no requirement to camp in wilderness areas.
