campsites that allow hammocks?

[boiledbeef]

sorry if this has been done before,
i notice links to campsites that allow fires, but what about ones that allow hammocks,
they seem to be few and far between? at least in my neck of the woods anyway,

i would imagine theyed be happy with it if theres suitable area.

I guess the problem is that trees and camping tend not to go together too well. Most camp sites are large flat fields as that way they can get more, bigger tents in one place.

I would think that you'd need to pick your site well and ask the owners if they are happy for you to hang out there. :)

Get yourself a tall enough vehicle with a roof rack and just park 4 to 5 meters away from a tree around the edge of any camp site and just rig up..

Yep I do this all the time....works fine : http://www.gwenllyn.com/hammock-and-car.jpg

Only down side is that the car suspension flexes which makes it very hard to get a taught ridge line... bit like a tree that's too supple.

One of the only problem areas on a landy, everything else is easy enough to patch up.

possibly the greatest hammocking accessory known to man?!! love the colour too!!! lol


either that or go off the campsite path and try stealth camping :) im trying that myself for the first time this weekend. found a fantastic spot looking into a valley facing east. perfect for sunrise over a small town with huge hills around it.

... obviously i know natural bushcraft does NOT condone 'stealth camping' under any circumstances :)

Seriously, as long as posts are neither illegal or offensive then we are not here to stifle free speech. Camping isn't illegal, trespass is a civil matter although it can easily escalate to something far more serious like aggravated trespass or burglary (which doesn't only relate to theft).

Be sensible and there shouldn't be any reason not to discuss your camping trips no matter how stealthy they are. :)

Just remember that if you are stealth camping, stay wise and leave the locations out from your posts. If no-one knows where you have been how can they object? :)

Buying wood is a small price to pay really though :)
