You can camp for free in national forests. Just drive out to the woods and set up a tent. Some rules apply (For example, in Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, you can't create new campsites or roads, or clear ground by cutting vegetation.)
Depends, this isn’t universally true. Some popular areas (near national parks, etc) have restrictions on them. But otherwise it’s usually fair game. So worth double checking but it’s often true.
BLM land is the same way though I have been shot at by rednecks there so keep in mind some areas can be a bit lawless.
What's BLM, for those of us not in the group?
Bureau of Land Management.
It's government-owned land but it's generally free to use for camping. The USA is very big.
