The State Parks With Free Camping

Only a few state parks in the US offer genuinely free camping within their boundaries. These include Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in California, where several primitive campgrounds charge no fee; Adirondack Park in New York, with free sites on state-owned Forest Preserve land; Greenleaf State Park in Oklahoma, offering free backpacker campsites along the Ankle Express Trail; and Mary Minerva McCroskey State Park in Idaho, which has no entrance or camping fees. All sites are primitive, lacking water and hookups, and operate on a first-come, first-served basis.
