Freestanding are fine, you can tie them down

There is info on AMC backcountry sites here (http://www.outdoors.org/lodging/campsites/index.cfm). Where it says "pad", that is a 'dirt' area for a tent. A tent can be rigged on any platform if you carry some rope and know how to do it.
Did you mean to say "freestanding"? Non-freestanding tents require more skill to pitch on platforms.
