If you find yourself stressed by the process of reserving campsites online, I’d encourage you to just go to random public land and camp there. It’s legal by default to camp on BLM and Forest Service land and you do not need permission from Booz Allen Hamilton to do it. There are endless adventures to be had and plenty of room for everyone. People competing to fill out online forms so they can be allocated appointments to enjoy specific small segments of the great outdoors is a truly bizarre phenomenon. If you enjoy participating in that system, more power to you, but if you don’t, then just go anywhere in the much larger portion of public land that isn’t administered in that fashion.

Yes, but please, please, please leave no trace (LNT):

It is not really bizarre that people really want to go to the places that have e.g built toilets.

Not everyone wants to pee squatting in the bushes, or not have access to running water or electricity

Why not? That's what camping is.

What you're describing isn't just "this is public land. Enjoy"
