Car camping, I don't have immediate access to my backpacking gear. That's the snag, I want to avoid developed campsites and people, but at the same time need to be able to drive in. The Jeep can go anywhere, but I can't just drive anywhere I want. I know good spots to hike in, and I know some spots to car camp, but all of them are developed. I guess a developed campsite would be fine if it wasn't overly developed. Seems like all the car camping I've done with people lately had the sites all butted up against each other, rules against burning native wood, rules about how you park your vehicle, some even had :eek: paved roads to the campsites. I just want to get away.

I got this week off at the last minute, and want to take off for a few days to go camping, just to unplug before school starts back up. Usually I go with a bunch of people that want to go somewhere all developed, with bathrooms and roads. This time I want to go somewhere where I won't have to see anything human, so developed campsites are out of the question. I'll be taking my Jeep, so road conditions don't matter, but I don't plan on wheeling alone, so it doesn't have to be an off-road park or anything. Just basic middle of nowhere camping. On a lake I can fish would be a bonus, but not necessary. Some good moderate hiking with views would be nice too. Any ideas?

Cool, thanks. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on something.

Is there any efficient way to search for caches that are accessible by ATV or other off road vehicle only? I think it sounds like fun to load up the Jeep and start wandering the woods looking for treasure. Of course, I'm only talking about areas that it would be legal to drive a Jeep off road. I tried searching by zip code but didn't have much luck. Just thought I might be missing something.
