I suppose I've been spoiled. Most of my life I've camped where ever I wanted to. A lot of the land in NE Minnesota is public land and you can camp where you like - though that seems to be changing too.
In two or three years I'm going to be pulling the plug here (retirement) and I'm considering just taking off in the winter, with my tent, for warmer climes. Thing is, I don't want to spend every night in a KOA campground.
I'm wondering where, in the USA I can camp wild without having to pay someone for the privilege?
