I've done exactly what you describe (drive in, camp, leave without breaking the law) in the White Mountains in NH[0].
In general, dispersed camping[1] is legal in almost all national forest and BLM land. I think many people don't realize this but you can camp for free almost anywhere in a national forest (keeping certain distances from trails, roads and bodies of water)

- prometheus76 2y agoIsn't there a 14-day limit in National Parks?
- ghaff 2y agoIn general there are far more restrictions in National Parks than in national forests than on BLM land. There are some restrictions but really very few in the latter two categories.
