Urban Camping!

[turil.livejournal.com]

Any suggestions for places within reasonably easy biking distance from Somerville that offer really cheap or free long term tent camping? I'd love to find a place to live for a while that is close enough to the Boston area that I could afford (with no income, alas). All I really need is a spot of ground to put a tent, access to a bathroom (outhouse/port-a-potty is fine), and maybe some access to water.

Alternately, anyone want to build me, donate the materials to build, and/or loan me a "mini-camper" bike trailer, so I could just park anywhere when it was time to sleep? (Something like this with a slightly bigger tent maybe, or this extra cute one, which would be heavier, but also more enclosed and less likely to bother the neighbors/police if I was sleeping in it.)

It's in North Andover, less than 30 miles away. "Best in Tent Camping" gives it good reviews. I've never been, however.

Thanks. I guess should have been more specific about what I meant by "urban" camping, and "an easy bike ride". I was hoping for something within a 5 mile radius or so. I want to be able to commute if I get a job.
