  • Wild Camping Area Suggestions

    Looking for pointers as to where in a one state radius in and around illinois I could go wild camping.

    Heres what I have in mind:

    Gonna be just me and my dog(very trusty and capable irish setter male). I wanna take my 4x4 jeep somewhere, go offroad a little deeper into the wilderness. Find a spot relatively secluded where I can park, then hike/backpack on for a couple of miles, anywhere from a mile to 10, to scenic, secluded spots where I can wild camp. Preferably looking for places with water bodies rivers/lakes.

    It will be for a week during the thanksgiving week of 2008.

    All suggestions are welcome, thanks

    Good luck on your find. I moved the thread. It may see some more looks under the Illinois area camping forum.

      If you are far enough south I would recommend a hike along the Buffalo River Trail in Arkansas. Many entry points and just plain beautiful scenery.
