While we generally use reservations for most state and national park stays these days out of necessity, we're fortunate that we have a lifetime permit for remote boondocking on a corporate tree farm in the Adirondacks. If anything, that location has become even more private over the years as the other permit holders have passed away or lost interest. There are currently only three active permit holders left, and the other two are hunters that only show up for deer season in the late fall. We love going there as a fill in getaway in between the more "civilized" parks.
