forest camping
Sleeping among trees
Forest camping is camping in a wooded area, typically in designated national or state forest land rather than developed campgrounds.
The term often implies more primitive conditions—no amenities, dispersed sites, and greater self-reliance: We prefer forest camping to crowded RV parks.
Rules vary by jurisdiction, with some forests allowing camping anywhere and others restricting it to specific zones.
