Absolutely. You can get all the way to "ripped" doing nothing more than body weight training. Push ups, chin ups and body weight squats should be the foundation. Going to a park you can usually find something to hang off.
You can work up to doing hanging leg raises too which are great for the midsection.
This guy "Fortress" has a great channel on body weight fitness:

Body weight training: squats, push ups, planks, lunges, dips and so on0

I always recommend You Are Your Own Gym app. I use it alot when I can't/don't want to get my butt to the gym.0

Body weight exercises of course. If you want to do some things "gym like" then get a suspension training. WOSS sells one for like $30 and you can take it anywhere with you.

There are tons of body weight exercises you can do- pushups, squats, crunches blah blah blah... Also, look on your local craig's list- I picked up a small weight bench & some dumbbells for $40 from someone moving, it's not much but it is great to have around
