Camps in St Petersburg, FL

I just remembered a friend recently shared a website with me called freecampsites.net. Maybe that would have something? Either way, have fun & good luck!

That is a really awesome site! Wish I would've known about it when I was living in my van! I just saw this official message for the Ocala national forest" The maximum RV length at Ocala National Forest is Little RV. "Hahaha cute

Little Manatee River Outpost. And they post stuff on Groupon and Living Social all the time. Or Ocala National Forest.

Ellie Rays campground is also on itchnatucknee, I live about 20 mins from the state park, but it's off season for tubing there

I like to camp at the free Suwanee River camp bungalows. No tent necessary. Screened sides. Electricity and bathrooms. The trick is that you have to paddle to and from them. Going from Lafayette Blue Spring to Peacock Slough camp to Troy Spring is a nice two day camping/paddle trip. There are really nice springs the second day, especially, to swim at.

Yes you can. Use Canoe Outpost in Arcadia, and they can hook you up on that river/camping trip. They rock. And it is on the peace River. Check out their website

Hey Helen, is it http://www.thecanoeoutpost.com/

Ichetucknee Springs has some nice little campgrounds and canoe and kayak rentals on site. It is one of the most beautiful pristine springs in florida.

Are you in a tent? If so: https://freecampsites.net/#!10207&query=sitedetails Are you in an RV? Then: https://freecampsites.net/#!10325&query=sitedetails…See More

Check out SWFWMD and it's FREE! https://www.swfwmd.state.fl.us/recreation/camping

Good luck KOA is currently $112 a night. Fort De Soto is great but booked solid other than Friday morning 7 am online they open up 10% of sites for 6 day stays

FreeCampsites.net camp if possible

Danny Kirschbaum not any more. Police will run you out

Challenging to say the least. Try roadtrippers.com but you'll probably not find much in the Phoenix area especially because it's still snowbird season. There are some up north about 90 minutes away for about $400 a month but Prescott area is a long way to drive.

Try further out toward Golden Valley or Apache Junction. It's possible out in that area. It will be getting hot soon. You can try Steve at twinpalmsrv.com - I stayed there in the summer time when the snowbird season was over. Ask about monthly rates.

I can't help you with free at the moment, but I can suggest Work Camping. We work at a campground in So-Cal, and we work 40 hours a week for a full hook up site and minimum wage- big savings and has made it possible to continue the adventure. Check out workampingjobs.com :)

getting late but i like it down at Fiesta Key - a KOA, we use to go there and the Islamorada party, and skip lower keys! - good luck

Key Largo Kampground and Marina 101551 Overseas Hwy 305-451-1431; Calusa Campground 325 Calusa 305-4510232; Kings Camp 103620 Overseas Hwy 305-451-0010.

Very remote tent camping at Fort Jefferson, Dry Tortugas . Skip Key Weird .

Don’t sell it. The Adirondacks have an abundance of free primitive camping. Many sites are on seasonal or maintained roads you can pull or back right into, and in some cases have an entire small lake or pond all or mostly to yourself. I’m not going to recommend a specific site or area- they are literally all over the park. Here is one website that details some of the available resources: https://andyarthur.org/

It's not boondocking, but DEC campgrounds also aren't KOA "resorts" either. No hookups, and, depending on the campground and site, often offer decent privacy between sites. Some are louder and busier and more crowded than others, but if you can go mid-week or early/late in the season, it's generally a very different vibe.

Moose River Recreation area, Hamilton county, NY. Great place with plenty of hiking,fishing. https://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/53596.html

Freecampsites.net is a pretty solid resource for sites in the adks.

I absolutely loved our pop up... kids loved it to. Then we upgraded to motor home an it’s even better

Where will you be entering the park? You can easily camp on forest roads off hwy 120 to the west.

Depends what route you're taking in. There are some north of Buck Meadows, some up toward Hetch Hetchy. Not so sure about the 140 or 41 routes; down near Bass Lake it's often as crowded as Yosemite. And some areas burned, so maybe not so nice. Been a while since I've been up there. Check the Stanislaus NF website. And BTW, no campfires. Only stoves, and only with fire permit.

I use freecampsites.net. Lots of good spots, lots of spots that are little more than a parking lot. I’ll pick a few that sound good and then google to see if I can get more info. Haven’t paid to camp anywhere on the west coast in a few years.

I typically go to https://www.fs.fed.us/ivm/ and use the maps to find dispersed camping within whatever National Forest I’ll be in! Sierra National Forest allows dispersed camping off all fire roads and a lot of them are accessible by a normal car (but a lot of them are not and you would need 4 wd). You can also check which trails are open for the season and even find developed camp grounds.

There's a hotel/motel in El Portal. The rooms are pretty damn private, especially if you go for the ones westernmost from the park. They have like 2 people who work there. It's potentially pricier but much closer to the park. It'd be very easy for "one person" to rent the cheapest room. Leave your "do not disturb" sign up.

Fish Creek Primitive campsite. I’ve camped there twice and would highly recommend it. It’s free, there’s a fire pit and a toilet, and hardly ever anyone else around. Very secluded. There is a decent hike just off the campsite to what they call the “wind caves”too, amazing place.

Oh man you’re going to have a gorgeous weekend! I don’t have any recs for camping as I haven’t been out there much. Just remember to please stay on paths and not trample the flowers. They are very delicate and support a large ecosystem.

I’d suggest the BLM land just south of Ocotillo Wells. East of the train tracks. It’s an area where folks go target shooting, so don’t be scared if some people are shooting. As long as you’re on the east side of the road you’ll be fine.

It’s all full, but I’m heading out with some friends still. Check out freecampsites.net and it’ll list a bunch of sites that are free, but super primitive. I’ve used it before in other areas and it’s great if you don’t mind having zero utilities

I camped at Anza Borrego on Saturday night. There are several "primitive campsites" aka "backcounty campsites" listed on page 3 of [the Anza Borrego Desert State Park Magazine](http://www.parks.ca.gov/pages/638/files/anza-borrego%20desert%20state%20park%20magazine.pdf). Primitive campsites "have marked and level campsites, generally a toilet, and maybe fresh water. They're usually close to paved roads, making them easily accessible. Limited spaces, first come-first served." I stayed at the Yaqui Pass primitive campsite on Saturday night. I arrived after dark with no idea what to expect but found a football field size dirt parking lot. I drove to an open area and set up the tent right beside my car. Easy and quick. All was great except that a group camping 50 yards away was very loud until 2 AM when I asked them to turn off the music. I'm only including this note because the next time I go back to Anza Borrego, I'll plan to arrive before dark so I can find a good place along side the road to camp away from anyone else. It's the largest state park in California and their lax camping regulations make for great opportunities for a truly remote camping experience.

I've stayed [here](https://www.campendium.com/rockhouse) a few times. Rockhouse is pretty solid. I've never been this time of year so I don't know how busy it'll be during the weekend. You shouldn't have trouble finding a spot Thursday or early Friday.

Culp Valley Primitive Campground is great. Not too desert-like. Just be aware that if it's windy, Culp Valley will be nuts. I lost a tent up there a few years back - fled to the car, woke up and the damn thing was just *gone*.

RemindMe! 24 hours

Hawk canyon is nice, generally protected from the wind.

Most people don't know this, but camping is allowed just about anywhere in Anza Borrego SP so long as you follow some simple rules: * Do not camp farther than one car length from any dirt or paved road * Do not camp within 100 feet of any water source * There is no garbage collection outside developed campgrounds so pack-in pack-out * Ground fires are not permitted, and metal containers must be used for all campfires ​ There are lots of unpaved roads throughout the park (Glorieta Canyon is one of my favorite, and is 2WD friendly).

Freecampsites.net if all else fails

Could always check AirBnB

I seem to recall that the nectar team is setting up a camp ground. I believe it was mentioned in the AMA he did a few weeks ago. If you're looking for a separate camp grounds then I can't help you there. However like an asshole, I can direct you to Google. I lied, [here's a screenshot of the available campgrounds near Hampton. check a few out.](https://imgur.com/gallery/yGo90)

Check Newport news. Bout 15 from the coliseum. Good amount of quality hotels and inns with availability at decents prices left. If you really wanna chance it, a lot of hotels release rooms the week of for a lot less but you gotta be quick!

Anywhere in the Allegheny National forest, google “dispersed camping Allegheny National Forest map” and you’ll find roads that have all kinds of sights! I was just up there, it’s great! And you cannot plant a tent anywhere you want in a state park, minus like some parts of state parks like cook forest that has the North Country Trail, or the Appalachian Trail running through it, because technically you can camp slightly off of those trails following the leave no trace guidelines. ANF however has a TON of back country dispersed camping sights you can drive your car or truck too, most already have fire pits made with rock or even metal sometimes, and you do not need a permit for anywhere under 14 days of stay. First come, first serve, respect the land and leave no trace guidelines and enjoy :) Edit: also take caution this time of year as it’s open hunting season, so maybe take some orange, and some fire access roads are closed and some are open, so if you pre pick a spot, keep that map handy cause sometimes the access roads are closed and you gotta find a new place

Might not be exactly what you’re looking for, but check out Hipcamp.com. I camped on someone’s private land out near Harrisburg through that site and we were really happy. It’s a good option when the state campgrounds don’t fit the bill.

Michaux state forest has those primitive sites. They are maintained by the state forest, and you have to reserve them through their web page. The sites south of route 30 are fairly remote, some are near creeks, and some on the top of the ridge. Lots of great day hikes within the forest plus the AT runs thro too.

Yeah backpacking can be expensive to get started. May I suggest an overnight canoe/kayak trip? You rent the boat and don't need a backpack or boots (most costly of backpack gear) and you can use your camping gear you already have since it doesn't have to be fancy lightweight stuff. A drybag would be worth investing in if you are interested.

Check out freecampsites.net

Find an area you're interested in and contact the regional Bureau of Forestry HQ. Things vary from region to region within PA but some forests have drive up dispersed camping with permit, many have hike in dispersed camping 'sites' with permit, some have boat sites. State forests are more geared to this than state parks, and from Phila the ANF is a drive.

I can answer most of your questions and only part of a few 1/2. I do not know about camping, but I am sure there is somewhere to camp if you look on the internet. When I stayed there, the best place to stay lodging wise, was The Inn at Entrada in St. George, Utah. It is the nicest place that you can stay near Zion in my opinion. 3. The Narrows at Zion are something that you can do by yourself! Though I would have a map to understand where you are as it can be confusing. You can though go in groups if you want to, either way it’s a great place to explore. 4. Your 8 year old definitely can make it through the narrows. No worries there, just make sure you have enough water as if you go during the summer it can be very hot and staying hydrated is the key being a hiker. Some other tips are that I would go to Zion when it is warm, as when going through the narrows. The reason for this is that the narrows when you hike to a certain point become flooded with water. You can go farther if you are willing to take a dip and walk/swim the rest of it. Which depending on what you are wearing and have enough energy for can be a great experience. Other than that bring sunscreen, water, some food, and a hat! You’ll have a blast and make sure you take a lot of photos as it is a beautiful park.

There is some BLM land with free camping just outside of town that I camped on this summer. Can't remember the name but there is a great site called freecampsites.net that should have some info for you. The narrows are beautiful. I'd recommend getting as far up as you can as the crowds slowly thin out and at times it is just you and those majestic walls.. a magical experience.

First thing: Do some research on Zion. Review the [official website](https://www.nps.gov/zion/index.htm) to understand park basics and layout. Check out [Zion Adventure Company](http://www.zionadventures.com/) for gear you may consider for the Narrows. As to lodging, there's a few options. You can camp in the park, and I'd highly recommend that you reserve your campsite as soon as reservations open. Staying inside the park is great, as it reduces the time waiting for shuttles, etc. You can stay in a hotel either inside or outside the park. There are some affordable options - [Zion Motel](https://www.zionparkmotel.com/) is around $80/night. There are plenty of options in Springdale, which is ab hour closer than St. George. You'll want to reserve any hotels early as well. Finally, you can camp in BLM land outside the park for free. You just have to know where BLM land starts and ends. Here, you are a little farther away from the park. You can camp anywhere, so no toilets or showers available. If you do choose to use the BLM's distributed camping, please follow [Leave No Trace](https://lnt.org/) principles. That means you should either bury or pick up and take out solid waste, so keep that in mind. There are two ways to do the Narrows: Bottom-up or top-down. With an 8-y-o, you'll want to do bottom-up. You'll take the shuttle from either your campsite or the park entrance to the end, then hike to a river. The Narrows is hiking in and along the river, no map necessary. You can go as far as you like, up to the spot where the river forks. That's your final turnaround. This is great, because if the kiddo gets tired, you can just turn around and head back, easy-peasy. As much of the hike is in water with a slick, stony riverbed, I would highly recommend a solid wood hiking stick from one of the outfitters. They're $10, and you can keep them as a souvenir. Regular metal hiking poles can easily fold in these conditions, so I wouldn't recommend them for this hike. Please do not use tree branches as a pole, as others may see that you have a branch and break one off for themselves. Check the website and/or twitter feed to ensure that the Narrows are open. The rangers will close them if the water is flowing too fast.

Ft. Desoto is $35/ night in a tent and one of the nicest places in Florida.

David Sweet they have showers laundry bathrooms and all sites have water and electric very nice clean sites trash is near all sites and the lake is beautiful and grills at park plus each campsite has a firepit grill i love going to lake griffin because its a good price and has everything you need close by including free firewood when available

http://traveltips.usatoday.com/tent-camping-pinellas-county-florida-110812.html Check out this site for different tent camping sites in the county. There's also a county park in northern pinellas that has cabins you can rent.

Thanks everyone! Please email me at laura@laurafortefitness.com if you are interested in more details.

I'm pretty sure you'd yell at us if we stood up in the canoe. Nice picture though. The big concern I have is that with that much ink covering your whole back, it tends to get hot. And the troop number would be nice, but the last two years, they got our order wrong. In fact, our order for week three last year wasn't even set aside. One kid couldn't get the size he ordered. If they get it wrong with the troop number on it, there's no way to swap it out. I think you're setting yourself up for a lot of headaches with that one. I'm sure everyone else will like the troop number idea, since it falls on your shoulders to manage it. Susan Sandstrom Riley susansriley@yahoo.com

The difference this year Susan Sandstrom Riley is the vendor is responsible for the printing and the order. A Troop would go to theirwebsite, order, pay and the T-shirts would be drop shipped. Our local folks wouldn't be involved at all.
