Camping on state land

[JV842]

Found a sweet spot of state land last year. It’s only about 30-40min from my buddies house n then another 30-40 min of hiking to get where I want to hunt. I know that’s not that bad especially being able to shower n all at my buds. Just miss some of the “camping out” aspect of an out of state hunt. Is it legal to pitch a tent on state blocks of land?

As long as you have your state use permit (which is a required purchase with your hunting license) you are good to go camping on state land.

Here you go

Overnight use (camping) on leased or licensed land is allowed within 200 feet of a customary access point or navigable waterway, but is limited to two consecutive days. Camping on unleased or unlicensed land outside of a designated campground is limited to a total of 14 total days within a calendar year.
