Show HN: Van, truck or car camp for $0 a night
For anyone looking for actually free, no strings attached (and no subscription) camping, check <a href="https://freecampsites.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://freecampsites.net/</a> instead. It's a community wiki of free camp sites, usually on federal lands of various sorts (National Forests and BLM lands often have primitive campsites with fire rings and not much else). It's great for travel around national parks, especially. But please do leave no trace, pack out what you bring in.<p>Edit: I should add that much of federally protected lands are free to camp on, within certain limits that I can't remember offhand. Things like no more than X days within a month, must be further than Y from a street or river, may or may not need a fire permit, etc. Even if undocumented and unlabeled on a map, you can typically just pull off the road and camp alongside, perfectly legally. It's part of their intended use, though that's never really made clear to the public.<p>What this website provides isn't the land itself (which is paid for by taxpayers) but <i>curation</i>, so you can easily find places with a good view, cell reception, fire rings, minimal traffic and whatnot. A lot of national lands aren't exactly desirable to camp on even if you're totally within your rights to do so.
