There doesn't appear to be a news group for camping, so I'll try here. What are the laws in the U.S. regarding camping other than on designated camp-sites? Can I find a pleasant spot by a river, somewhere, and just pitch a tent or will the local enforcers hassle me? This question assumes that the land is public and not privately owned. Is it generally the case that wilderness in the U.S. is not privately-owned? Charlie Lambert AT&T Bell Labs. Naperville, IL.
