We lucked out - permission to camp on private property

Good edits to the original post. Don't advertise the good spots.

Being around other people is okay and a nice change on a long trip. I do not care for RV parks much at all. People seem more urban in their outlook. I like remote campgrounds and boondocking. I have met local people in a bar and had them offer a camp spot on their land. I was grateful to accept their invitation.

Once you get used to public land everywhere, it changes the way people camp.
