thee are a few campsites just east of grafton notch that are free, to the west, the shelters and campsites are administered by the AMC, and they do charge a small fee per person to stay. There are no fires allowed except at designated campsites. as far as stealth camping, that part of maine is pretty dense woods, and would be rather difficult to find an appropiate site, better off sticking to established sites.If I remeber right, the fee was $6/person per night.
