Campgrounds: noisy, dirty, annoying. Nature: not those things. So why not spend your time camping in the latter? Get away from crowds and closer to the pristine backcountry. That’s something uniquely possible here in the land of the free and the home of the 4×4. Wes Siler explains how to camp in national forests, BLM areas and other public lands.
