While this may sound like the ultimate camping trip, dispersed camping comes with regulations and restrictions meant to protect the land and environment that is owned by everyone. Often this is free camping with no services while some National Parks have dispersed camping opportunities you could be charged a fee for entrance to the park and not for camping. In other words, it’s driving or hiking into a public area and setting up your tent or trailer. Is your idea of “ camping” to “get away from it all?” If your answer is “yes,” what does that really mean? “Dispersed camping” is the term used for camping on public lands anywhere outside of a designated campground.
