There isn't a easy answer, as, every location has different compromises - unless you are backpacking :)
I have found this site the most informative and to the point about the length questions - more notability what lengths NOT to use: http://www.hamuniverse.com/randomwireantennalengths.html At my QTH, my counterpoise lays on my patio - I've given up on it's length; my dad has a similar problem and his counterpoise is ground ( he actually does quite well .. tho all he does is weak signal CW). for camping, and i don't want to put up a dipole. My wire is 84 foot end fed and a 17 foot counterpoise -> this website: http://udel.edu/~mm/ham/randomWire/ Good luck!!!
