where can i go camping without any restrictions from rangers or park employees?

Yellowstone is a bad example so don't let the restrictions there make you think other parks are just as controlled. Yellowstone HAS to have so many restrictions for a number of reasons including that is has such large concentrations of protected wildlife, because it is so heavily visited and crowded and because it has sensitive and also quite dangerous thermal areas where a person could die if they fell in the superheated water or got hit by a steam geyser.

Any park that is used heavily by the public has to be more controlled so people don't crowd each other and the environment. Also, areas with very fragile ground cover like the deserts of the Southwest (Arches and Canyonlands) and some delicate high Alpine meadows in mountain parks, must require visitors to stay on trails or their foot trails will cause damage that may take 100's of years to repair.

Go to less crowded and popular State and National parks and National Forests and you will find far fewer restrictions. I've backpacked around the country for almost 40 years and have only met up with rangers in the backcountry a few times and they never restricted anything I was doing.

Unless you are planning to set up a meth lab or a terrorist training camp in the woods, I think you are worrying over nothing.

The more visitors a park has, the more rules it will have. The best way to get a general idea is to pick a park you'd like to see and call their headquarters. Ask a few questions, such as:

How many annual visitors?

What are the busiest months?

What kind of permits do I need? (ask for specific activities you want to do)

Another thing to consider is how accessible a park is. If people can drive up to the top of a mountain, there will be more people there. If it's a 2 day hike to get to the top of the mountain, you will find almost no one there. Yellowstone has roads leading right up to many of its biggest attractions, so it's crowded with people.

Look for parks that restrict how many people can enter or don't have a lot of roads. The further you are from a road, the number of people you see drops almost exponentially.

There will always be restrictions of some kind, if only "stay within the property line, don't litter, and observe the bag limits on hunting." I think you are looking at it the wrong way. Instead of saying, "Where can I go without any restrictions?", say, "Where can I go where the restrictions enhance, rather than detract from, my long-term camping experience?"

Remember, rules exist for reasons, including your own protection and the protection of the property you are there to enjoy, not to mention protecting you from other people. Do you really want to camp in a place where somebody can camp 20 feet from your tent and stay up drinking and singing off-key until 3 am? Do you want to camp in the middle of a rifle range? Do you want to camp where people have been allowed to run all over the property in unrestricted numbers until there's nothing left but mud and other people's trash? Do you want to camp in a place with no rangers anywhere to help in an emergency?

Try calling some properties in advance, or checking out their websites, to find out what areas are open for camping and hiking at this time, and what their rules are. Then set your own priorities for this trip. You should be able to find a property whose rules match up with the experience you want to have.

Yellowstone- "u couldnt go to a lot of areas inside the park cus they were protected". Only a few areas are restricted, and mostly for your own safety. There are huge areas you can go and be pretty dang free.

The only place with NO restrictions would be land you own or land no one owns.

I have to admit- your request makes me wonder what you want to do that you can't. Don't forget, a lot of the 'rules' have good reasons behind them,

Private land, but yet you are still bound to the landowners restrictions. Nearly all restrictions have some generally good reasons with High impact areas being the most restricted. The further out you are willing to go the less likely you will encounter the jr. ranger with the stick in his...&^%. So look to wild-lands like BLM areas or regular national forest areas as these have the least amount of regulation and patrol. National parks, state and county parks are just full of jr rangers waiting for their first victim.

Avoid official parks. Head into Big Sur on the coastline. You can park your car and just walk in. There's also the Tahoe mountains. Recently, some friends and I drove out to Carson Springs, the whole area is open for exploration and no rangers are present.

right it fairly is what we will do because of the fact there's no way you may desire to get a motor domicile in my hood (do no longer permit the be conscious scare you). If we park it in simple terms a splash from the city, i will come %. you and the little Mr. up and convey you lower back to my domicile. Roscoe too in simple terms as long as he would not drool on my head because of the fact he's so happy to work out each and every of the individuals and can't supply up barking and yipping.

Afganistan.

How about the National forest!

It's protected from people like you...
