a couple friends of mine are coming down from Nashua for the weekend, and were looking for a place to camp.
The thing is, they can get pretty rowdy and I don't think they'd be appreciated much if the park rangers came by to tell us to turn music down or something.
Do any of you know good middle-of-nowhere places to camp where nobody will come to check up? Maybe in the woods by Hells Gate or something?
if you go into arcadia via 165 (near the wood river entrance) and follow the river a ways, there are some spots away to stay at. You could also goto Fueher Park near the train tracks, Lafayette RD and 102. Lastly there's Cocumscussoc Forest. You can assess it from behind Wal-Mart on 102 or the Soccer Fields on Stony Lane.
:mellow:
Out in Voluntown CT there are dirt roads into the state forest, and there are little offshoots from those dirt roads where you can camp out and not a soul would ever know you're there :wacko: Check out aerial maps between Rt. 49 and the RI state line, you can go out by Hell's Gates and access the area if you go by Bailey Pond and around Gallup Homestead Rd. to Brown Rd. (don't go straight out by Bailey Pond, you have to go around because there's a wooden bridge in the woods that a car shouldn't cross) Or you can enter from Old Shetucket Turnpike.
Bring a car that has a high ground clearance, sometimes those roads are passable in compact cars and other times they definitely are not. Pickup truck or jeep should be fine!
don't park near Hell Hollow Pond.....we camped out there a few years ago and got 75$ tickets in the morning.
