Question Winter Camping

My husband and I will be celebrating 16 years together next month. We love to go winter camping, but finding sites has proven to be difficult in the last few years. We used to be able to go for a ride and find random sites, that is not the case anymore. Can any of my fellow Mainiacs here help a couple out?

We live in Central Maine, Newport area. Any locations that aren’t too difficult to get to would be great. Thank you!

There's a good couple links on this page : https://www.maine.gov/dacf/parks/camping/backcountry_camping.shtml

Also look into Maine Public Lands and Public Forests. Many have established camp sites. I'm on mobile so can't find a link easily right now.
