What are some places in the US where I should avoid going camping?

Question

Other than the obvious, Golden Gate Park, other towns, the middles of rivers and oceans, and Florida.

Answer 1

Alaska in winter, Death Valley in July, Mexican border, Canadian border, the Mojave desert in summer...

Answer 2

My policy has to do with hassles, restrictions, and crowds. With that in mind I avoid:

ALL "state parks"

Most state "recreation areas"

City and county campgrounds

campgrounds that are very popular and well known

I generally avoid developed campgrounds anyway since I like camping away from crowds.

Answer 3

Central Park. Death Valley.  

Answer 4

Next to me...

Seriously...Lake Mead National Recreation Area - most people's idea of camping in Vegas is to party at the lake.  It's loud and crowded at Boulder Beach.  Not a lot of fun.

Supai, AZ - While the falls are awesome, the campground is awful.  Overflowing pit toilets (p**p ovens we called them), WAY overcrowded (people on top of you), and "car camping" 10 miles from the car (I could not believe what people had packed down by horse - cots, coolers, BIG tents...not like backpacking at all).  And noisy.  Oh...and one runs the risk of being assaulted or worse.
