Any free or very cheap places to camp in the New England area? Who wants to pay $30/night to camp? -

My wife and a few friends of ours are planning on going camping sometime next August. We live in RI but would be willing to travel to anywhere in the New England area (within 4 hours or so). I know most campgrounds will rent you a site you can pitch a tent, but they charge you anywhere between $30 and $45 a night! On top of that they ll charge you an additional fee per person/per night. It would cost 6 of us over $400 to go camping for a week, and that s just the site. What has become of just pitching a tent in the woods and having a good time? Anyone know of any places where we can just pull up, pitch a tent, and eat out of the truck?

You can camp at any Massachusetts state park for $ 9.25. The website says 9.25 per reservation.
