Confirmed free

376 campgrounds whose official records say no fee

This list is deliberately short. It only includes developed campgrounds whose fee record in the federal recreation database explicitly says there is no charge; absence of a fee listing doesn't count, because that usually just means the record is incomplete. Fees change, so confirm with the managing office before driving far. For the much larger world of free dispersed camping on Forest Service and BLM land, read our guide to free camping on federal land.
