This was one of our favorite camping spots for years, Cardiff Fork in Big Cottonwood Canyon along the Wasatch Front.
You can see our truck back in the trees. We camped out of the back of this truck for years. We used to think if it didn't take a 4-wd in low range to get there then you weren't camping.
Today we don't feal the same way.

Here's a Wasatch Front site that didn't require low 4. It was pretty much OK. You can see the back of the RV tucked into the trees on the left.

We love camping in American Fork Canyon and it is an absolutely beautiful canyon to ride ATVs. Maybe one day we'll see you up there.

Funny you should ask...I went to the rangers station in the Wayne NF in southeastern Ohio today (It's very close to my home. I asked about Dispersed camping and their advice was to just explore and see what you can find. They told me about some horse trails that had some developed areas at the beginning of the trails (trailheads?) I drove out to them and found a WONDERFUL spot to camp. It had a pit toilet that looked brand new(IE clean) a nice sized meadow, some stands of pine trees with spaces in between to fit my pup, picnic tables, and fire rings. I am so happy that I can do some boondocking as soon as the weather warms up.
Treehugger: If you want to know more, and you are near the southeastern Ohio area, private message me and I will give you further details how to find it.
I went back to the spot I found and took some photo's and I thought id share with you guys.

That looks like Soapstone Basin in the Uintah Mountains, very nice spot.

Two pics from a favorite boondocking spot about one hour from the house. It is on Mexico Hwy 85 at Linares turning right to Galeana. The first pic is getting there:
This is the site just off the highway. It is well-hidden and we have only been visited twice. Once a family came to stop for a lunch break and the second time the Policia Rural stopped to see if all was okay. Cows pass by occasionally but that is about it.

I don't remember the exact location. My notes just say on a dirt road 1/2 hour drive from pavement and somewhere south of Miller Flat Reservoir.
