How do I find a campsite by water that has no one nearby without a boat? Every time I try to scout a spot it's swampy, no access, taken or private land.
>where do I find campsites with views out here?
follow the ridgelines to known cliffs or overlooks, and look for similar topographic features.
You might not be able to set up a tent looking right over a view, but you can usually find a flat enough spot 50 feet behind the trees that will work
alternatively go to the appalachian balds in SW VA
Water means mosquitos and no-see-ums where I live, so I'll take the view. But honestly I prefer to be tucked into the forest. It just feels safer and less exposed.
I don't want my campsite to feel too open, I like views but my actually place where I sleep and chill should feel cozy. Least amount of distance visible the better.
It depends for me. In winter months for shorter trips I don't really care, because I can bring enough water for myself in bottles. But often I'll do longer trips with multiple people in the summer and it really helps to be within walking distance of a water source. Frees up a lot of weight in the pack.

Go back in time 200 years, alternatively go to russia or maybe some more isolated parts of the US.
There is no overpopulation problem.
Camp out west
SOUNDS LIKE A PROBLEM WITH YOJR STATE

both, if i cant have that it depends on if i feel the need for fishing or not.
solitude goes above all anyway.
>private land
and? feels good being northern euro
Move to the West, or Northern Ontario
>I live in Northern Ontario.. I'll keep looking I guess. Only tried 3 times so far, I'm new to this.
who are you quoting?
If you live in Northern Ontario you're literally surrounded by crown land. There should be no problems finding vacant lakes.
I used to live in Colorado and there were a lot of camp sites with great views. Now I'm in Virginia, where do I find campsites with views out here?

Both.

I don't camp at all if the spot isn't next to a lake or a river.

It’s pretty much the same everywhere. Camping close to water means the site will be more buggy.
I camp only when doing long hikes/climbs. So I prefer a place with water and protected from wind if possible.
I do not care for anime or the people who post it.
anywhere where I can camp with you bb
Nice views with a spring. Ponds lakes and rivers are a no go
What would you do if I flicked your cute little girlfriend off that cliff?
/out/ing in Scotland tends to mean camping where I think my tent won't be blown away overnight.
Yes

If you aren't filling your water up while precariously perched at the top of a waterfall are you even camping?
