Do you have a constitutional right to occupy space that you down own?
My understanding is that you basically are at the whims of whoever owns the land, be that an individual, city state, or federal government. Even the fed doesn’t allow you to live at their parks over a certain amount of time, even if you’re paying for camping permits.
There's a very large percentage of land that isn't owned by anyone, around 10% of the country (which amounts to millions of acres still affected by The Homestead Act,) and while you're kinda correct that you can't camp indefinitely in one spot on state or federal land, the requirements are that you keep your camp site clean, and move to a new site once a week.
