I cant find anywhere to camp that isnt in an actual "campground". Im wanting to just head into the woods with a backpack and tent and camp for a few days. I dont own any land so does anyone know where to rough it in middle tennessee? Ive looked into the smokey mountains 7 day hike but i think you have to stay in those houses. Is that true or can you tent camp too?

Answer
There is wilderness camping in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. You are restricted to specific areas so you don't damage the natural areas, but it isn't like a normal campground. Take a look at

for more information.

What is a good place to visit for a week without a car in the US?

My friend and I have two free plane tickets, but we are both just under 25 and can't afford to rent a car at the high rates for our age. We are trying to find a place far from South Carolina where we can stay for about a week, camp with a tent, use public transportation, and still see a lot of different things. We were really interested in Yellowstone until we found out there was no public transportation!

Answer
Pigeon Forge and/or Gatlinburg Tennessee, they have trolleys that you can take to get around town. Lots to do, lots to see. Places to camp or stay cheap. Free things to do. Visit Tripadvisor.com, a free site for more info on that or other areas.
