Me and a few friends have been dieing to get out of the city lately and biking like crazy, so this seemed like a fun way to spend a couple of days

its usually private property, so I doubt it, and I bet it doesn't go as far back as you think before you hit something, or get shot

Look you have up state NY to find some camp grounds, otherwise I know for a fact there are some with in 1/2 days ride in Jersey, hell Lebanon and LBI I think are full blown KOA style camp grunds, and you are still within a reasonable distance to drive to the shore points. Hell Sandy hook has campgrounds...but i hope yall like posion ivy, the area is rife with it.
If it's private property, ask first, some will be kind and allow to use their land, and be respectful of them and their land.
If it's government property, make sure you are allowed to camp there in the first place, if yes, follow the basics about zero(no)-trace camping.
The point though is ask the county government, they should have the maps of land where it's permissable to camp and what not. don't ask the city government unless you plan on camping in city limits.
From my camping experiences, it's best to follow the zero trace camping policy because it A: keep the environment cleaner; B: can prevent unwanted fires; C: leaves the beauty of nature intact for someone in the future, which if well cared for, may become a regular camping spot.
Personally, I think it would be good to go to a state or national park, and if you follow their guidelines, you'll have a great stay, and well known trails (although some may not be traveled regularly), so if you find yourself lost, you'll be found quicker. Just be safe about things, and you'll be fine.
And yah, don't worry, I know its not cool to leave a mess in the woods, or to start a fire when I have no idea how (figured we'd just use flashlights/lanterns)

It's not something people hear about.

Densetsu attempted to be funny by writing:
You should not try camping by yourself. And by yourself, I mean that I include yourself and any friends that aren't experienced campers.
I've been camping twice before, so it's not like I'm completly clueless, I just had nothing to do with the fire either of those times.

But sleep isn't the problem when you're being RAPED BY WILD BEARS.

It MUST be a soda can. Beer cans do not work. Mt Dew works best, because of the green can. Beer does not work because of the alloy content of the can.
Bonjourno!

This whole "getting back to nature" thing sounds like those guys who get together, strip down, and bang on drums over a weekend spent mainly drunk and trying to hump/avoid being humped by the other guys and wild animals.
Just going to a campsite is best.
Camping in New York is like trying to find a black guy in Arkansas.
It's the phrasing Mogster used that worried me. Like a communing thing. I've been camping a LOT in my life and while I enjoyed the scenery, it was never a communing experience. It was a fun diversion from the norm, then I went home. It wasn't a reconnecting with nature thing.

When I go camping I commune with beer. Peter fucked around with this message on 05-27-2006 at 10:34 AM.
