Remote campsites?
I am dreaming...so let's hear the most remote location you went off beaten path to camp or boondock.?
Forum Discussion
"Remote,yes. But are they legally "campable"? "
Depends what you mean by "campable".
If you mean legally ....absolutely legal!
If you mean by any RV....well then maybe not. The Northern
Maine Woods entails a lot of dirt road driving. This is privately
held land owned mostly by logging companies where the public has access. Camping is allowed at designated campsites. Fee for
non-residents is $12 per night collectible at the entrance gate.
Most campsites have room for one or two "campers". The major roads
are very wide dirt roads but watch out for the logging trucks !
Some roads are one lane so if you meet someone else..negotiate !!
I camp with a truck camper so can pretty much can go anywhere.

Maine also has what are called Public Reserved Lands campsites. These are mostly accessible by water but some can be accessed by RV.
The Machhias River area off of route 9 east of Bangour for one.
Small sites, again dirt roads.
