free camping for a van with a rooftop tent?
Hi there My boyfriend and I are going to be on a road trip in Canada and Alaska with our van and roof top tent in June & July this year. We are going to be in Alaska over the 4th of July long weekend...

MORSNOW answered the key questions, so just to offer a thought, free advice worth what you pay for it, whatever:
The 4th of July Weekend, unless you absolutely need to be "camping", would be a good time to splurge a bit, get a couple of nights in a motel somewhere along the road system (but not Homer or Seward, possibly not Valdez) and avoid camping at the various state park campgrounds.
Seward is an absolute zoo over 4-July and Homer and Valdez get amped up a bit as well, but not as much as Seward. Blanket statements are all wrong.... :) ....but any state campground near a road system population center will attract the loudmouths and drunks.
