Any free or very cheap places to camp in the New England area? Who wants to pay $30/night to camp?

We live in RI but would be willing to travel to anywhere in the New England area (within 4 hours or so). I know most "campgrounds" will rent you a site you can pitch a tent, but they charge you anywhere between and a night! On top of that they’ll charge you an additional fee per person/per night. It would cost 6 of us over 0 to go camping for a week, and that’s just the site. What has become of just pitching a tent in the woods and having a good time? Anyone know of any places where we can just pull up, pitch a tent, and eat out of the truck?
You can camp at any Massachusetts state park for $ 9.25. The website says 9.25 per reservation. You need to call in advance
