Try National Forests.  Unless posted otherwise, you can camp within 300 ft. of any road for free, generally up to 14 days at a time.  Obviously, you must be completely self-contained.

Have you considered a percolator on the stove. Simple solution and better coffee than you'll get from a drip or Keurig.

We use an old 9 cup percolator on a single burner propane stove, best coffee in the world. Funny my wife had to figure out how to use a percolator, but she did. I used to make campfire coffee 40 years ago when I hunted AZ.

I use high quality French roast beans, a good quality stove top perc. (there are a lot of thin cheap ones that don't work very well) and the coffee is fantastic .  If it's cold outside, the stove helps warm as well fill the cabin we a great aroma and when its hot outside I perc out there. So easy, so simple.

When you are old enough to get a Golden Age Passport, you get into National Parks etc for free, and half price on campgrounds.

Actually, the manual k-cup coffee maker was an easy find. Great tip, i'll add that to my list. I am trying to end the expensive camping cost of the 60 - 70 dollar a day campground, by going to state parks that are very cheap, but, have no hookups. I figure the difference of 70 a day, versus 20 a day, should pay for the various items i'll need to be self reliant, before to long. 

I found several manual K-Cup coffee makers on Amazon

If you're in Ma, then we need to hook up this summer! Only issue is I'll be up in Canada! LOL!

I will be doing a few dry runs prior to the trip and would be fun to hookup and camp cheap in NH/Vermont. I'll pass my dry Camping experience and you can teach me about the Rpod!

Of course a few smiles/cocktails invoved!

Exactly what the Wife and I were just talking about! I went downstairs to find the 'old' pot
