Non DNR camping?

[cap6888]

Anyone know of any off grid camping areas? Aside from the state parks, is there any areas that I could take he kids to do some more bushcraft type camping?

Any suggestions?

How remote do you want to be.

Only thing I can think of remotely like that would be a State Forest. Green Ridge comes to mind.

Green ridge would definitely be a good choice.:thumbup:

We go to Green ridge 2x a year, every time has been great except for the last trip, early fall last year. We had some idiots decide to go squirrel hunting the next camp site over. To make matters worse we were a little elevated so shots were awful close. Scared the sh#t out of wife and dog. Went over there and bunch of drunk idiots. Not cool

GREEN RIDGE STATE PARK, Dutch Ovens, cast iron skillets, campfires and great people (or alone).

Take a MDS flag along and hang it high.

Dolly Sods Wilderness in WV is the most remote place I have encountered in the Mid Atlantic. They ceased to maintain and mark their trails. Total wilderness experience. Staying in MD, I believe that Warrior mtn. state forest might be even more remote than Greenridge SF. There is also the Tuscarora trail which sees much less traffic than the AT. Search for PATC for info on that trail.

How is Green Ridge not DNR?

+1. Dolly Sods is true wilderness. It's worth the drive of its solitude you're looking for.

I'm sure there's some private campgrounds although how much primitive camping they allow who knows, but Green Ridge is definitely DNR territory.

Unless something has changed,Warrior Mtn. only allowed camping in designated areas i.e. "parking lot".

walk the trial... and just find a place always a good time IMO

Any particular trail you had in mind?

Thanks for the suggestions. I may look into Warrior Mountain. My Google fu shows that it is in Maryland.
