It's hard to call federal lands "boondocking heaven" when they are clamping down on dispersed camping, you have to carefully examine MVUMs to see where you can go, and all of that.
My dad used to talk (in the 60s and 70s) about how "federal" land meant "our" land, and how it was ours to use and enjoy. But nowadays on much of it, we are no longer permitted to use or enjoy it.
Yes they have clamped down some. But here in Wyoming, we can RV camp pretty much anywhere on federal land (except wilderness areas) as long as we are close to a road...can't blaze a trail far into a new area.
This is much better than if it was privatized.
