Motocamping

The other day I started looking at Google maps and worked out possible locations that I could go motocamping. I figured that I'd still work off the 20 episode idea so I'd need at least 10 different locations. I started looking fairly close to home and found that there were a number of places that I'd like to try and give a go. I also looked a little further a field so I could mix it up a little. I'm thinking that I'd aim for four trips a year. Two 3 night trips and two 2 night trips. Ideally I don't really want to ride any further than two hours each day to start with, but those two hours need to have some sort of interesting views or something as who wants to watch someone ride up the Hume Highway.
After not much time at all I've now got over twenty potential locations. They range from fairly well established campsites that are a little out of the way to just trying to find a nice spot to camp in a state forest. Most state forests you can camp wherever you like as long as it is not in a designated picnic spot. The best part is that state forests are free to camp in.
My bike is capable of riding on dirt roads and I like the idea of getting off the beaten track a little. I headed off to a potential camp site a month or so ago and thought it looked like a great place to actually stay the night. I only stopped and made myself a coffee before heading off a different way. This spot was in a national park, it's a little out of the way on a dirt road so should be pretty quiet outside peak times. Camping in national parks isn't free but it's usually under $30 a night so not too bad and they are actually maintained and often have toilets and some form of water available too.
Things are starting to come together so I just hope my wife gets on board with the idea.
