Two days away from an established camp is not what the thread is about; dummy camps are. See images up thread for examples of the two, if you have never actually seen one. In certain parts there are more dummies than real ones. It gets pretty ridiculous.
The pic you were referring to is of a kids tent in someone's back yard. If you are talking about a set up like this..
or this that is exactly what my camp looks like if I'm by myself or have only one of the kids with me.
That's why I get irritated when guys with their fancy wall tents and trailers think they can move my stuff just because they think it's a dummy camp. If you think it's a dummy camp report it to the FSO. If it doesn't belong to you don't touch it. Maybe if I get a tent like this one you'll leave it alone.
North coast, either of those two pics might make me take a closer look and see if they are being used. If not then I may set my camp up there with yours and whether or not we teach our kids a lesson about good people or jackwagons is solely up to you.

Camping equipment cannot be left unattended for more than 24 hours. That is only for developed recreation areas (i.e. pay campgrounds). Not sure why the "anti dummy camp" guys keep trying to twist things so they don't look like jackholes for messing with people's stuff. If you take my stuff and set up your own camp, that's theft. If you like the spot and think it's "abandoned" then report it but know this...the FSO can't remove my stuff until 5 days after a written notice if he knows my name and address. If he doesn't know who's stuff it is then he/she has to wait 3 days after public notice.Code of Federal Regulation Title 36 Part 262.12 (Current as of 7/31/2014)(a) Automobiles or other vehicles, trailers, boats, and camping equipment and other inanimate personal property on National Forest System lands without the authorization of a Forest officer which are not removed therefrom within the prescribed period after a warning notice as provided in this regulation may be impounded by a Forest officer. Whenever such Forest officer knows the name and address of the owner, such impoundment may be effected at any time five days after the date that written notice of the trespass is mailed by registered mail or delivered to such owner.(b) If the local Forest Officer does not know the name and address of the owner of property in trespass, impoundment may be effected at any time 72 hours after a notice of intention to impound the property in trespass is posted in at least one place in the vicinity of the property.If someone get's there before me and takes the spot I was planning on camping at, oh well, that's their right. Bottom line is 14 days is the limit and then you need to move 5 miles. That's it.
