Alaska


Alaska trespassing laws are similar to those in many other states.

You cannot stealth camp on unimproved, unfenced, non-posted, and apparently unused land, if you have not been told otherwise.

You can stealth camp on "unimproved and apparently unused land, which is neither fenced nor otherwise enclosed in a manner designed to exclude intruders", as long as you have not been told otherwise, and as long as their are no signs informing you of otherwise.

You should verify this with your own research including possible city and county codes and laws.
