On most national forest and Bureau of Land Management land, yes: dispersed camping is allowed outside developed sites, usually for up to 14 days, unless an area is posted closed. State trust land rules vary: check the managing agency. National and state parks, wildlife refuges, tribal land and private timberland are not. In Oklahoma the map shows who manages every piece of public land, wilderness boundaries and the land with no public record, which you should treat as private.
Where will I have cell signal?
From the carriers' own coverage filings with the FCC, strong (in-vehicle) LTE covers about 61% of Oklahoma for AT&T, 46% of Oklahoma for Verizon, 43% of Oklahoma for T-Mobile, 8% of Oklahoma for panhandletelephone, 7% of Oklahoma for pinecellularphones, 4% of Oklahoma for crossvalliantcellularpartnership, 0% of Oklahoma for viaerowireless, 0% of Oklahoma for unitedwirelesscommunicationsinc. Carriers model their coverage optimistically in the mountains, so the map also collects speed tests from other campers. Canadian phones usually roam on AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon here: check which one your plan uses.
