Coolest camp you've ever had?

[Nemo]

For me one of the best places I've gone camping was in the black mountains at a festival called the leaf festival.. I was young then so I'm not sure how much I'd like it now of course. But there were friendly people everywhere, everyone "was caring and sharing".. It was a great time at age 14.

As far as super-secret-awesome-hideaway camps I haven't much on that frontier besides when yet again I was young and a neighbor Adam built a series of underground tunnels and rooms underground in our neighborhood. That was neat-o but way too dusty.

I've actually been dreaming up a little something lately and gathering materials along the way but land is so scarce to come by at a good price. I guess I'll have to take my risk and chance it by squatting.

OH camping one summer with a close group of friends we built a spiderweb deal high in a few of oak trees. It was a nylon rope net attached to 3 trees not so far away.. We used Ashiko hand and foot spikes to climb to the lower-level branches to secure the setup. That, I think was my favorite sleep/camping style ever. A lot of work but worth it.

bokor hill staion, cambodia. It's an old french military stronghold and current ghost town atop a huge "hill" (mountain) on the coast. We squatted on the roof of the hotel. Google bokor hill station for pictures. the sunset was incredible. best birthday of my life.

or, agua verde, baja california. A beautiful beach with a private abandoned palapa, old fishing boat, our own island, shit loads of fire wood, Bioluminescent plankton, tons of beautiful and tasty fish, and a wonderful little fishing town/camp just down the dirt road. It was incredible. I 've been twice and will return.

The best time I ever had in Florida was taking a boat out to one of the barrier islands near Key Largo and setting up shop. Had an entire island to ourselves, made all the noise and ruckus we wanted and never saw hind nor hair of anyone else, especially the coast guard. If you've ever been to the Keys you should know all about the green trees, crystal blue waters, and spectacular orange sunset.

coolest camp I ever had was the tank at Slab city. I built a hanging house inside and a tiredome on the roof and a kitchen and water system in there and stuff. LAst I heard, Moth took it over and had some christmas lights going with my old solar panels (I never did get them working). Definitely my dream home, with a view of the sunset route no less.

that place was awesome bote, tobad moth is shitting in the bottom now. but the awesomeness will still be there after he is long gone

These are nice pics. I want to head down there in a couple months and have been looking for photos of the place.

Hippie chick bushwhack Zak and I found a awsome one in east meridian mississippi some over grown old railyard sidetrax and switching area.
Lots of old evidence of beign a hopout/jungle/hobo camp
I'll not post pixures here, they are on our respective facebooks
We got smashed and had a huge bon/trash fire then fell asleep on top of a grainer in the yard and caught back into NoLa at about 4 in the morning

One of my favorite camps was deep in Golden Gate Park, in an area completely covered with bramble bush. I had a 2 person tent set up in the thick of it for about 3-4 months and nobody ever took a thing because it was so well hidden. I get cold easily but was toasty every night due to all the insulation from tarps, tent and multiple sleeping bags. I even had a gigantic cooler back there! Don't even think about trying this anywhere near Hippie Hill or the beach. Those areas are well patrolled by the police, especially by the hill.
