Boondocking in Ohio!

Boondocking in Ohio is often enjoyed in Wayne National Forest, the state’s only USFS property. There are no BLM lands in Ohio. Otherwise, the state does have free camping opportunities within its wildlife management areas and state fishing lakes. There are also some casinos that offer free multiple-night parking.
