Wilderness Camping

Many camping enthusiasts are looking for a fresh and unique idea for a camping getaway. They are indulging in wilderness camping. Wilderness camping has many advantages such as having no need to hurry and no schedule to follow. It is a chance to commune with nature in some of the most attractive wilderness camping areas in the nation, many of which are not well-known to the general public. This kind of outdoor activity offers people the chance to relax and experience that indescribable feeling of being at peace with nature. They also have the luxury of all the time in the world to explore the beauty that nature is offering.

If you already love wilderness camping or are about to embark upon it then you might not be too familiar with some of the wilderness locations. Located near Big Sur in California you will barely find Andrew Molera Park as it is fairly primitive for wilderness campers. There are only about twenty sites to camp in and it is very desolate indeed. Interested campers should find out what kind of regulations are in place that should be complied with. This park offers wilderness camping trails for various outdoor activities that include several different types of landscape to choose from.

In North Dakota, look for Theodore Roosevelt Wilderness Park, it is the home of wilderness camping areas. There are nearly 30,000 acres to explore. Campers visiting this park can spot many different types of birds and animals, including hawks, deer, bald eagles and even the occasional elk. You’ll find more than eighty-four miles of trails that lead into the more inaccessible areas of the park. Wilderness campers must get a permit.

Haleakala Park is a gorgeous spot in Hawaii which gives visitors a rare chance to do some wilderness camping in an area that is both primitive and breathtaking. There are two campsites that can only be reached by foot. These two campsites each offer a different experience for wilderness camping. Campers can get free permits to camp at either site, and there are various rules for camping in this park.

Ahjumawi Lava Springs Park gets its name from the Native American word, “ahjumawi” which means “where the waters come together.” This wilderness camping area is at one of the biggest fresh water spring systems in the nation. The camping areas are unique in that they can only be accessed by water, making sure you have the privacy you are craving. Visitors can enjoy the rustic beauty of the area that includes pristine water shores, places to view lava rock and scenery that includes Mt. Shasta. This is located in California.

Some very adventurous have decided to find their own campsites or in some instances create their own camping locations by entering some of the most unexplored areas imaginable. There is a large degree of risk involved and before attempting this you should always make sure that you have a way to access outside communication in the event of an emergency.
