My favorite campsite is a single spot 3/8 mile down a two-rut from the main dirt road, with no chance to turn around until you get to the site, and little chance to turn around there if someone is in the spot. So you unhook at the road, drive down to be sure it's clear, then go back for the trailer. The trailer scrapes vegetation on both sides all the way down. The river makes a pond at the campsite, there is one picnic table and one rock firepit and a wilderness style latrine, not an outhouse. The nearest official campground is about 5 miles up the main dirt road, and you can get water there. This spot does not make the official list of dispersed campsites.
Sunsets across the pond, with a bald eagle in the old standing dead pine across the river, fish and beaver in the pond, moose and fox wander through the campsite after dark.
Second favorites are any of the many free campgrounds, but they often have people in them, so not as good.
Then there are the state parks. Nice facilities, potable water, even electric hookups, and dump stations on the way out, but WAY too many other campers usually.
I need to get out. It's been a long, long winter.
