Is it legal to dry camp anywhere on national forest land, or do you have to stay in a designated campground?

We're wanting to do tent camping for free if possible. We will be traveling from New Mexico through Utah, Idaho, Oregon, to Seattle, Washington.

where to sleep in a tent?




Stupendous


I am going to be biking down and back up the west coast from north to south. There are going to probably be times where there isnt rest areas and such, and also , where i will want to camp in a big city, for food and other reasons that i decided to do this for. So where can I tent out at like parks etc. I just dont want a cop tellin me i have to leave and all. So i guess the real question is where can i tent at without grass if i had to.

Hey, sounds like it is going to be a blast.
You should check out digihitch.com, they have a lot of information for extreme travelers/hitchikers like you.
I hitch hiked with my boyfriend through the midwest as far west as New Mexico. Cops are always going to be a problem, they bothered us frequently even when we had a car and were using it to sleep in.
It's the usual, "Can we see your id? Have you been drinking?" and if everything is clear they will tell you to move out (to another district) so that you can be some other cops problem.
Many parks have signs that tell you their hours...if you are camping in them past hours someone is likely to call the cops on you.
Your best bet is to sleep under bridges where you will not get bothered by cops. This is very risky however, because the homeless also hang out under the bridges or by the rivers (in NM those that hung out on the Rio Grande were called "river rats".)
Sometimes you can find nice people who will let you camp out on their lawn -especially at bars and if you don't seem too shady.
Camping in big cities is not recommended. You will most likely end up on a street corner with a blanket wrapped around you if you do it. Much better to travel outside of the city and find a few trees you can hide behind for the night.
When I was traveling through cities on foot with my bf, we would stay awake the entire time or take cat naps under shade in parks or other spots during the day. It is much safer this way, because during the day many normal (the non-killing type) people will be sunbathing in parks or walking their dog or whatever and they act as community watch sort-of. You are very vulnerable when sleeping, so you do not want to sleep at night when the creeps come out in a big city, trust me. Sleep during the day if you absolutely must sleep in a city, and ask locals where the safest parks are and what areas of a city to avoid.
Check out digihitch, I promise they will have the info you are looking for.
