National Forests often have isolated individual undeveloped camping spots
that are always open as long as they are accessible. Perfect for "rough"
Vanagon camping. For example on the roads that follow the rivers on the
east side of the Olympic Peninsula. Rivers may be too high right now for
safe camping though. And the weather today does not make me want to go
camping. Last week was a different story, wish now that I had gotten out
when the weather was nice and the state parks were still open.
