I've never really been out that way, but there was an awesome trip report on here up the North Woods of Maine. There's a downed bomber and preserved steam locomotives out in the boonies. Not sure about structured campsites, but definitely something I'd want to look into, were I headed that direction.

We spend alot of time up in the Maine woods and there is alot of camping off the beaten path. The only stipulation is campfires as they can only be in designated fire pits. As far as camping if u can find a place to park your rig u r good to go. There are several thousand miles to wheel/explore up here. If u have any questions feel free to ask.

xj4ever we wrote a couple of articles on where to camp and stay down central America, check it out (http://liferemotely.com/trip-shenanigans/trip-information/202-accomodation-campgrounds-hotels-and-hostels) it includes GPS coords, prices and amenities.

If your really looking to be off the beaten path swap out the ball hitch for a pointless hook setup. That'll make it a lot better suited for the trails. Good luck and have a great time.

Ive seen a couple of the folks in nhere use multiple couplers, one for over the road, a standard style hitch, and one for the trail, a pintle like u plann to use. im in the process of build a trailer modeled after several i've seen in the build section, and thats what im gonna do...at least til I can afford to get a lock n roll...:smiley_drive:

If/when you make it out to Utah, look up ExpeditionUtah.com, lots of locals who know the intermountain region intimately and would love to help you plan your trip out this way. Good luck!
