Remote campsites?

There are some pretty remote areas in Michigan Northern lower and the upper peninsula's.

Our most remote location was in Alabama at a forestry park. 24 miles from a small town and didn't even see many houses between town and the campground. We hosted there and during February had a couple of weeks that we didn't see another living soul. Just the animals.

I Alaska with our 19 foot Pioneer travel trailer.
I couldn't even tell you where we were, but we got off the high way onto a back gravel single track road. Then drove about five miles, all the time wondering how I was going to turn around. We finally came to a clearing that had a bold creek on one side and just enough room to do a lot of maneuvering to turn around and it was so beautiful that we spent the night there.
That was fifteen years ago. I don't think I would take a chance like that again.

I would hope that, say, the Maine north woods would at least begin to qualify. Likewise northern Quebec should be remote enough for almost anyone.

The most remote feeling RV camping I have done might actually have been at Greenbelt NP of all places. It's certainly not a remote location, and traffic etc. noises are a reminder that civilization is very very close by, but I didn't have any visible neighbors for nearly a week of camping there. I've been to far more remote state parks in Vermont which were comparatively crowded. Of course, neither are much at all like truly remote boondocking/camping.

I spent the night on the old family farm about 130 miles away from where I live on the drive home with my new to me Class A in November, 550 feet of river front footage on the Ouachita river and 1100 feet of frontage on a bayou ( old finger lake off of the river) which has a national wildlife preserve along the other end.



p.s. just to tie in with the rest of the thread, this location is just 30 miles west of the Mississippi river as the crow flies near the small town of Harrisonburg, Louisiana

We go all the time up and down the Blue Ridge parkway and get back in the woods all to ourself at many places...

Another favorite spot is along the Virginia/West Virginia wooded state line behind Harrisonburg VA in the George Washington Natl Forest... Very seldom see any other folks up that way when we get off the forest service roads.

There is not many DISPERSED CAMPING spots in this area...

Having done alot of off-road while living in AZ so the areas here in Virginia are not much on the Extreme side but we are for the most all by ourself at many places...

All I like to do is setup creekside somewhere and wake to a bonfire and can watch the fish jump in the water...

I still have to do my planning and create the necessary PLAN Bs to be successful. Can't just show up and expect everything to sustain your multiple days being off-grid...
