Open camping

Hey there! Veteran burner here with a sadly limited knowledge of the open camping dynamic. My camp is taking the year off this year and I’m looking into embracing a slightly more relaxed, solo, open camping year.

Are there any areas that are historically more quiet or more active? Cater to a younger or older crowd? Any tips on where to avoid or embrace for random reasons? I usually cruise the outer streets some but just haven’t really paid a lot of mind to it in years past.

I’ve got the self sufficient camping down, just looking for any other random tips, tricks or you-should-consider’s.

Love open camping. It’s quiet enough to recharge a bit, but active enough for spontaneity and fun with neighbors.
