Where can I go camping that I don't need a reservation and isn't overly populated?

So, some friends and I (6 of us, to be precise) are planning on going camping on Memorial Day Weekend. The original plan was to go to Orcas Island, but after looking at the ferry fees we decided to find an alternate plan. However, all the state parks are completely booked already, and it's looking impossible to find a place to camp. It would be great if I could find someplace that may not necessarily be a campground in the strictest sense, but would still accommodate 3 2-person tents, without us getting in trouble for being there. Wilderness is great. We're just looking for a good camping experience. Any suggestions?

Answer
Orcas Island is 57 square miles of Washington State. I always thought that it was named after killer whales. I believe that you have a few other places from which to choose in Washington State. Try the National Forests.

Washington

Colville National Forest
Gifford Pinchot National Forest
Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forests
Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument
Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest
Olympic National Forest

Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forests is the closest to you.

Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest
2930 Wetmore Ave., Suite 3A
Everett, WA, 98201

425-783-6000
