North Carolina Prepper suggests the use of secluded campgrounds (especially those uphill) as a good place for bug out. While I’m not a huge fan of bugging out in general and I certainly wouldn’t suggest the common campgrounds everyone uses for weekend parties, but maybe this idea has some merit if you have no other choice.

Let’s hope the militias are still armed, with more than just hunting rifles, that is. The !@#$%^& Socialists in power now are determined to take away our firepower. Now that Americans are finally catching on to their true agenda, there are limited guns and ammunition available for purchase.
I can understand that some folks, mainly those in urban areas, would have to Bug Out. But, for anyone else that owns property, and has already put effort into surviving long term crisis/disaster situations, leaving is not such a great idea. You cannot take all your supplies and equipment. Travel would be very dangerous in most scenarios. Every encounter has the potential for trouble. Who would you trust enroute to your Bug Out location? It is a scary thought.
Like anything else , it depends on the senario , If there were riots in the cities , the state authorities may be able to get it under controle in a fairly short time and leaving for a few weeks would probably turn out fine . On the other hand , in a total collaps , no place would be safe , rural people would just have a little bit more time until the seedy elements and throngs started spreading out like they did in Argentina . This is where a good local militia would come in handy . Speaking of that , if its bad enough , we will see more of those popping up all over the place out of necessity .
The state you live in also makes a big difference , Maine has a lot of options because of the relatively low population density , and great sections of undeveloped land , as well as a few hundred islands just off of shore . It has a spider web of logging roads , some are used only once but provide remote access .
I should add a big “IF” to my statement. We are only leaving if we absolutely have to. With the preparations for crisis or disaster that we’ve already made, our primary plan is to Bug In!
Agreed , you are far more vulnerable in a bug out , than you are staying put in a town or city .
We considered using a camp ground as a “Bug Out” site. It is a good travel day away from our home, but we can make it on one full tank of fuel. There are showers, toilets, sinks in buildings scattered throughout the campsite. The individual plots that you rent have fire pits. There are abundant trees for shelter and to burn. There are also water sources with fish. But, we have friends that invited us to their place, so Allegheny is a back-up plan.
My personal belief is that this is such a BAD idea. If they are public then you are not the only one who knows about it. Why would I leave my home to go into the unknown as a bug out location that is public with public access. Who ever built these campsites must have known their was enough traffic in these areas to warrant the expense.
I’m certainly not a big fan of bugging out and definitely not to a campground as my first or even second choice. But I understand that some may not have any other option. And if you can utilize a campsite that it’s possible most people wouldn’t consider or even know about then maybe it’s a potential last-ditch plan.
