You call it free camping, I think.  In most of North America it's called boondocking*.  In Newfoundland and Labrador it's gravel pit camping.  I've had it suggested that I post this song.


Quote:

The Miracle Cure THE PITS (CHORUS) It's the 24th of May and we likes to get away Up in the woods or going out the bay There's all kinds of places but the place we likes to get Is up on the highway in the gravel pits We loves to go out in the good old gravel pits We loves to go out there when life gets smelly We can spray paint our names on the face of the cliff Go up to the Irving for a coke and chips Hitches up the camper and out of town we go Out on the highway with everything in tow The dog is in the back seat and Grandfather's drunk Youngsters in the trailer and the wife is in the trunk (CHORUS) It's the 24th of May and we likes to get away Up in the woods or going out the bay There's all kinds of places but the place we likes to get Is up on the highway in the gravel pits John is coming over and Sue and Henry too We polish off a bottle and a pot of moose stew We tell a few stories, an awful lot of lies Green boughs on the fire to keep away the flies The youngsters gets excited then they starts to bounce and jump up When we piles in the car and goes up to the dump It's cheaper than the movies so we all sits and stares Up by the garbage b'y you're lookin at the bears (CHORUS) It's the 24th of May and we likes to get away Up in the woods or going out the bay There's all kinds of places but the place we likes to get Is up on the highway in the gravel pits We flies a Newfie flag on an old spruce pole And drowns a few worms in a tractor mud hole Then listens to the radio we plays it good and loud A scoff on the Coleman stove is bound to draw a crowd When the weekend's over and we're headed back to town A half inch of sloppy snow lying on the ground A hundred dollars poorer, who wants to be rich We just had a lovely time out in the pits (CHORUS) It's the 24th of May and we likes to get away Up in the woods or going out the bay There's all kinds of places but the place we likes to get Is up on the highway in the gravel pits Is up on the highway in the gravel pits

* though confused with urban parking in big box store parking lots all too often.
